Why would you want to do that? :confused:

Responsibilities or whatever "adults" do :confused:

Although I wonder how difficult it would be to put a mild lift and make this a overlander/"street weapon" :lmao:

figured they would have scrapped all those duckboats after the last catastrophe.

Long as you don’t load it full of people and take it on a lake in the middle of a severe thunderstorm , it should be fine .

I’m surprised the fedgov doesn’t want them back .
These would have been the only vehicle to be able to restore people after hurricane Katrina .

People stranded for days, when a duck boat could easily have been used to pick them up

Its weird that you say that because ive never encountered a towable bobcat. Ive seen a couple random pictures of welding trailers but never seenn one irl with a baby machine.

I’m not familiar with each brand of rig .
But most of them that large seem to be on trailers .
 
lots of those mid-size welders have some in-between wheels
better than wheelbarrows and such, but worse than proper trailers

they've got straight roller bearings in wheelbarrow tires so they do roll good, but I'd never want to put them on the road because the straight rollers are just in there with a washer and an e-clip

Never even seen a welder on a trailer in real life and I've seen at least a dozen of the real big Lincolns in the beds of compact pickups. You either see a real big welder in a truck bed (and it always seems to be a Lincoln) or cross ways on a welding body or you see a medium sized machine in on the side of a service body (and like 90% of the time it's a Miller).

Makes me think that the trailers are old timer shit from the dark ages before most service trucks had service bodies.

That machine is not that big. Small enough that one man can easily wheel it around hence the little cart so you can wheel it through a man door or whatever.

kinda cool on really old equipment like compressors and welders, you'll always see four pipe sockets in the four corners
so that you can stick pipe handles in and have four or more big dudes whoft it up and carry it where it's gotta go

Trailers like this are common for crews around here

they used to be common around here but they stopped being so common
maybe some combination of "easy theft" and "welding is now a specialty rather than part of normal laborer duties" made most everyone move toward truck mounted setups

Welding machines are also a lot lighter these days. The miller 600 in the back of by truck is sub 2000lbs and its a giant.

I love those old Toyota Chinooks, not sure why, but they're cool. :smokin:

There is a Blazer Chalet for sale local to me:

The company who did the piping for the last expansion at work used 4-5 of those mid size gas powered ones with "wheelbarrow" wheels in the center and smaller wheels at the end set a little higher so you can balance it on just the big center wheels to turn it.
IIRC 4 were Miller and one was a Lincoln. The Lincoln was "well worn" and didn't like starting up, was fine once warmed up though (should have offered the foreman $200 for it the day it wouldn't start, he probably would have taken it :grinpimp:).
