Didn’t buy, but assembled this little unit from freebies.

Trailer: was free from my brother’s company. It was a former light tower trailer. I had to install some angle iron bracing under the welder. We also bought the 2x6 boards.

Spools: free. Dad picked them up at the dump. They were for water lines and leaked, but might work for welding cable.

Field welder: my bro in law bought 3 of these for a few hundred dollars each ( I know, right?! He seems to have horseshoes in his ...) when he and I were building drilling rigs together. He kept one, gave one to his dad, and has been letting my dad use this one on the farm. He has said to keep it there. Ah yeah, we can do that.

I think it will be a pretty sweet little unit when it’s all done.

I just have to remove the pintle hitch and install a ball hitch.
