    I built it for future use behind a buggy on tons and 40s so i wanted to make sure it could be dragged through a few things.

    Oooo a buggy...reason I ask is I may have my hands on a mig setup with a century 135 for $250. It'll be good for up to 3/16 but probably not 1/4

    Yes and no you CAN crank it and run wire a bit slower and get some good penetration. But you can weld a lot if you bevel edges. Thats how pipes are welded for oil, 45degree bevels and lots of passes so if your worried you cant weld to much its just a matter of setup. Ive patched a few things on 3/4 plate and just beveled the hell out of it and did 14 passes. Perfectly strong
