hard facing help

[welder_one]

i have been asked to hard face the augers and flight chains on an asphalt paver. i imagine a manganese based rod will be good for the abrasive wear. my trailblazer will not be in for another week, so hte machine that i have is the legend aead 200le, will this machine be enough, or do i need to pass this one on to another welder? i have hardfaced before, but with a 300d. i was working for someone else at the time. i would never consientiously own a lincholn. (spitting from bad taste)

Burn a few rods on a piece of scrap & you will know.

why wouldnt you be able to, what rod do you intend to burn that will require more than 200 amps....

looked at the amperage rating of the rods and....duh. dont know why i posted on this. maybe i'll add it to the "a thread celebrating the "not so bright"". i believe this one will fit right in....lol
