Miller Bobcat 260 Portable Welder

What are the main specifications and welding output capabilities of the Miller Bobcat 260?

The Miller Bobcat 260 delivers 225 A at 25 V with a 100% duty cycle for conventional stick/TIG welding, and 260 A at 28 V with a 100% duty cycle for MIG/flux-cored wire welding. It generates peak power of 11,000 watts and continuous power of 9,500 watts, with dimensions of 28 x 20 x 40.5 inches and a net weight of 501 lb. The unit operates at 3600 rpm welding speed with an idle speed of 2300 rpm and uses a 12-gallon fuel capacity with 1.5 quarts of oil capacity.

What engine options are available for the Miller Bobcat 260, and what are their specifications?

The Miller Bobcat 260 offers three engine options: the standard Kohler CH730 (23 hp, 3-year warranty), the Kohler ECH730 EFI model (23.5 hp for gas or 21 hp for LP, 3-year warranty), and the Kubota D722 Diesel option (19 hp, 2-year warranty). All engines are 2-cylinder or 3-cylinder, 4-cycle, air-cooled or liquid-cooled designs operating at 3600 rpm welding speed. The standard shutdowns include low oil pressure for gas models and high/low coolant temperature, low oil/fuel pressure for diesel models.

What welding processes can the Miller Bobcat 260 perform?

The Miller Bobcat 260 supports conventional stick (SMAW), MIG (GMAW), flux-cored wire (FCAW), DC TIG (GTAW), AC TIG (GTAW), carbon arc, and plasma gouging (with optional Spectrum®). It offers both AC and DC welding capabilities, making it versatile for various metal types and applications across maintenance, repair, construction, and farming industries.

What standard shutdowns and safety features does the Bobcat 260 have?

The Miller Bobcat 260 includes low oil pressure as a standard shutdown for gas models (CH730 and ECH730). For the diesel model (Kubota D722), standard shutdowns include high/low coolant temperature, low oil pressure, and low fuel pressure. These automatic shutdowns protect the engine from damage and ensure safe operation.

What is the noise level of the Miller Bobcat 260?

The Miller Bobcat 260 operates at 72.5 dB at maximum load and 72 dB at 150 A, providing relatively quiet operation. This reduced noise design enhances the work environment and makes it suitable for various job sites where noise control is important.

What fuel capacity and oil capacity does the Bobcat 260 have?

The Miller Bobcat 260 has a fuel capacity of 12 gallons for all engine models (gas, EFI, and diesel). For oil capacity, the gas and EFI models require 1.5 quarts, while the diesel model requires 3.4 quarts for adequate lubrication.
