This is my journey to welding pipe. Welder motivation. You can do it any of us can do it. You just have to sacrifice a little bit it to gain a lot. Welding pipe really saved my bacon. I hope this helps somebody have a great day!

AS a welder of over 50 yrs. love you presentation.
Thank you MR Peter that means a lot.
As a welder for over 80 years I do also love it
Hey guys thanks for coming to the comment section. I get some really awesome ones you should get in there and read some. The best welders are in here
My pops been having his vantage 400 since 2009. That was the machine I learned how to weld with.
used a vantage for years. loved it. bullet proof.
You got me motivated
Love your style Chris.......you rock......Paul
Bro excellent video!!!!! Clear and cut to the point !
Great information! Thanks!
Learn something new every time I stop by. Great content. KEEP GOING!!
Great video
I love stitch welding with 6010
Great videos you had me laughing about the welding inspector , I recently took a 2g5g open root 5p+ all the way out . Keep up the great vids
I just got a vintage 300 and this video Helped a lot.
Thank you for making this video.
That’s awesome JOSE thank you for letting me know that. It would’ve helped me too
Love your take on its what you like, so true I run the arc force at different settings and have great results and I change it and it can stack it or run LH uphill it works for me to change it my partner never takes it out of the middle
Thanks for Video I found a used vantage 300 and was skeptical about buying it until I saw your video love it so far
I love both of mine
Thank you for the help I’m a young buck doing welding highschool thank you sir for the free advice liked and subscribed
Good deal! Thank you for subbing and going the extra mile and commenting.
Best welding channel on RUclips right now, hands down.
Thanks brother means a lot
Because there’s some good ones out there
I was for sure 232 or 238 wire welding would be bigger than stick, . You have opened up alot of options for me, Thank you .
I like how you have everything chopped down too just what you need on your rig and nothing else in the way of what you need. You obviously know how to get the good out of something and make it pay. Thanks for sharing! Enjoying the channel 👍
I’m glad you like it. I could squeeze a quarter and make the eagle piss. Lol
Pennies add up to dollars$$$
Thanks for the video brother, I was looking into getting a 300D but now you got me sold on that vantage
I love it Chad. And most everybody that welds with it does too
Lone Wolf Welding. 👍🏻
If you were a CWI now after all the experience you have, I would say you would do great at it, meaning you would probably give great insight to the welders so they could get better. That’s if they aren’t know it alls and not willing to take professional insight. Best to you!
Thank you Paul. Lol welders in truck drivers know it all.
:I don't want anybody to live through that" Respect, this man is trying to help, you're going to deal with those guys in this line of work. Don't let them disturb your goal. Keep burning.
That was a tough lesson. Thanks dude
I’m looking for a good machine to start out with thanks for your info.
Absolutely!
My Ranger 305G’s have exactly the same controls as your Vantage. I have NEVER tried the downhill/pipe setting. I’ll have to give it a try. On the welding rods as well as wire, I never buy anything but Lincoln. When I was starting out, everybody was giving me free advice on what fillers I should buy to save some money. Most of the time I would end up throwing half a box of rods or a half a roll of wire away because it either ran like crap or it wouldn’t feed. Not saying Lincoln makes the absolute best of everything but, I’ve never thrown any away. I’ve always been able to use every bit I paid for. That seems a whole lot cheaper to me!
I used a vantage 500 one time for a job it was rental because our companies little welder that could had died. And man!!! I tell you what I really wish I had one of those for myself it was so nice welding with that thing
I love mine! If something happened to her today I buy another one tomorrow
I used a 300 cross country the company had for a little while. I loved how it tigged, i hated the way it started a rod.
Not that your asking. But I reallly love that you are such a dynamic welder and human. Personally I am a welder, musicician, health conscious person, looking towards fanicial stability and fincial freedom. I can see you doing all your content on one page and I would watch EVERY freakin video... i mean i already do. But it would make it so much more rounded and impactful! Bless you!
Thanks man I have another channel called Financial Fitness if you’re interested in the financial side of things
Once again on point! Listen to this man all you young and up coming welders this man is true definition of a rig welder!! Trust me there’s a lot of them that claim to be but they just wanna be’s!!
We’ve must of had the same teachers!!😂
Thanks brother! I had some good ones Through the years. Most of it was learning from mistakes lol
Lincoln Ranger/Vantage machines are all I use! I can Tig, Mig, Stick, Carbon Arc Gouge and then get tricky and fire up the K488/487 and spool Aluminum. .. Best machines I ever used. I never know what I'll be welding..
They really are awesome. If something happened to the one I have I would buy another one tomorrow.
I love the vantage i have the vantage 580 on my rig truck it has the perkins 4 cylinder turbo in it
I'm in south Australia in the oil and gas pipe work too. love watching your channel keep up the good work brother
I bet that thing is awesome!
Thank you for the encouragement Jaimie! I’m going to keep it up. I’m certainly not going to quit. My plan is to have the most helpful welding channel on the Internet. With a comment section slap full of wisdom
I like arc 80s but them 8p plus pipeliner 8010 are my favorite
Did I not say pipeliner. I thought I did.
@@TaylorWelding i think you did too i was just saying i prefer how the 8p plus welds over arc 80s a little more crisp
Lots of great tips , I’ve run a 300d , 305g , 305d , and now a vantage 400 and I gotta say I do really like the vantage, she loves to stack metal and has lots of jam, but will lay down 7018s like butter. Love the videos !
Thanks Ling! You’re right about the vantage. I love it
I have to disagree I had a 300D and the 300D stacks way more metal.
@@weekendwarrior4271 what are you disagreeing with ? I didn’t say the other ones don’t stack , I’m just saying I’m surprised at how well the vantage does ….
@@weekendwarrior4271 How much more? Give me a number.
Ain’t stack like a 300 or a pipe pro
Tips!
Thanks Ninja
Use a 61 Lincoln Red face with blue highlights. Very good machine.
Nice ! Sweet machine …I bet it welds awesome
@@TaylorWelding It runs super smooth. Tig welds really nice. Runs nice for stick also.
I have a Miller BB400 with a Caterpillar and it has some thing like arc force, it goes from soft to stiff. 1000 hours later and still playing with it. I'm not a pipe welder.
solid machine, only issue i seen is some of those vantage 300's cant burn 1/4" (6mm) 7018 too well. My ole pipe pro 350 rips them though. ha
I don’t know anything about 1/4” welding rods . You must have some big leads
I was just lookin at sa 200’s
Hey there. Really enjoyed the video. Got a question for you since ya seem extremely knowledgeable about this machine
I know how to use it, but I know very little about repair
What rods is your recomendation lolwarn to stick weld?
Thanks
Love the video Iv got a vantage 300 as well. You always keep it downhill pipe even running 7018s?
Not always but most of the time
How loud is this machine at hi idle . Looking at buy the 322 vantage. Also have you had any board issues thanks for the content from Canada 🇨🇦
I’ve had very little problems out of any of my Vantage machines. Contrary to what everybody else said I would have. I’ve replaced the fuel injection system on one of them. And I had to replace the board on one of them. Out of 15 years that’s not bad
Why is dude so jacked too
Lol DUDE LIFTS HEAVY WEIGHTS
Lol
Just a question I know every machine runs different how do you set your vantage to weld pipe I have a vantage 322
I thought I went through that!
How do i comment an aluminum spool gun to it? I just got one.
Idk. only time I’ve ever used a spool gun. It was hooked to a mig machine.
WIDE OPEN!
Think some of the reason guys want to know about diffrent rods is because they are doing things other then pipeline. Me I'm a fence builder, mobile repair and structural welder. (Can I weld pipeline, probably.. am I going to leave a 3 million dollar feedlot job I do with myself and 6 guys in 2.5 months to go do a pipeline job. Absolutely not lol)
Main rods I keep on the truck all the time, 6011, 7018, 8010 and stainless to carbon.
Everyone is different
@@TaylorWelding everyone is diffrent and there are a tone of diffrent ways to make money with a good hand or two and the right equipment 🤙🍻
true - thanks for the comment
9:20 Being a cwi is like being a safety man. They are just guys who don't want to actually work and want that little bit of authority.
how much is a vantage 300? can't find one. they're hard to find Chris.
Quick question i have ranger 305g i do a lot of downhill welding with it would you run it the same as a vantage im sure its the same technology behind it only difference is the motor is bigger and more powerful on the vantage obviously. Cause i know my 305g controls look just like yours.
imagine it’s similar, but they all weld different
I recently bought a used Vantage 500 where is the best place to buy filters and replacement parts for it it’s a 2014
I just googled it and found the cheapest one
Question, I have heard about vantage going into limp mode when burning 8010 any feedback on that ?
Never happened to me
Have a vantage 300. Machine has been down for over a year bc of injection pump. Got a new pump machine starts and runs good. I have power to the generator but no power to the leads. All the displays work. Leads are good.
Replaced the brushes
Cleaned the slip rings with 500 grit
Slip rings have 30 ohms
14v coming out of the 200 wire on pc board
52 volts coming from each cap leg
Any help would be greatly appreciated
sorry buddy I am not your guy. Sounds like a computer problem and they’re expensive.
Thought it had a Perkins ?
Nope Kabota
Can you use a Miller Trail Blazers with a diesel motor on pipeline
I wouldn’t
@@OVERCAPITALIZE why not
I’m not saying it won’t work… i’m just saying I wouldn’t do it.
I would buy vantage or a 300 D. They’re going to hold their value longer. And you won’t look like a greenhorn
What if u have a wireless remote same concept to what u described in ur video🤔🤔
Idk
I have the 400, I’m trying to figure the machine out, getting tons of arc blow on structural. But can you go uphill with 6010 when in the downhill setting? Trying to figure the 6010 with my machine, running into problems, sticking lots, not hot enough even though I’m running at 130 1/8.
How long have you been welding?
@@TaylorWelding just broke out a couple months ago, had my first job doing structural and that went good. Trying to get my b pressure now
@FZTFabs crank the arc characteristics dial all the way up. Yes, you can go up on downhill setting.
Have you ran the vantage 322?
No I haven’t
Man im having constant water issues with my 300 vantage. I fill up my truck and welder at the same place. Yet it seems like my vantage always has excessive water in the fuel. I cannot figure it out.
I used to have that happen all the time. I put a fuel tank in at my house all the problems went away. I don’t understand it either other than crappy fuel
@@TaylorWelding That's what I was worried about. Must be a leak somewhere getting in water.
So that remote is an analog "relative" amperage adjustment device. There is none of that stuff where you yell out at your helper to bump up your heat by 5 amps?
That remote is a rheostat in your hand instead of on the machine. It will turn you up or down one amp at a time if that is what you want it to do. It isn’t numbered in amps because it will work on different amp machines such as Vantage 300, Flextec 655. So... yes your helper can turn you up five, if that is what you want.
That’s right. Instead of at five it would be up a 1/4 . From 3 1/2 to 3 3/4. But I’ve got my help her trained when I say up he knows to go up 1/4 at a time
I pipe lined for 37 years, run hoe and boom. When I was on tie ins the sound of a Lincoln put me to sleep.
That’s awesome catkinner 37 years…
Thanks for commenting brother.
Is there advantage to welding with a diesel machine rather then a gas? Will you still get the same quality of welds from a gas??
diesel is better on fuel, and generally last longer. Personally i find most diesels have a bit more " push/drive" than a smaller gas welder.
Thanks Adam! Couldn’t said it better myself.
Thanks guys!
You drive a 6.0, your opinions are invalid lol
That’s a 7.3 bud
@@TaylorWelding your opinions are now valid lol
