Wattage drawn on welders

Hi everyone. I have a question on the wattage drawn from a dynasty 280. I'm going to be purchasing my own welder generator and am wondering if there is one powerful enough to run that smaller 280 tig machine. Thank you, Obie

For maximum power on dc stick you need about 12000 watts. You could get by with considerably less depending on what you are welding.

I haven't tried the Dynasty 280 on Bobcat power yet. Diversion 180 full out was effortless. Millermatic 252 MIG works well at any power level I've tried so far.
