260 Kohler Welder/Generator

The Miller Bobcat 260 Kohler is an AC/DC welder and generator built for stick and flux-cored welding on maintenance, construction, farm, ranch, and standalone generator duty, with GFCI receptacles and Miller's remote start/stop feature included.

What it's for

This unit covers the stick, MIG, flux-cored, and TIG processes, and is built on Miller's Accu-Rated generator power system, which delivers power that stays usable under real-world generator loads such as plasma cutting or a Millermatic MIG welder, rather than a short, inflated surge rating. Confirm the exact welding current output you need for your tasks with us before ordering.

Remote start/stop and maintenance

A water-resistant key fob lets you start or stop the Bobcat 260 wirelessly from a distance, cutting unnecessary idle time and the walk back to the machine, and the fob itself carries a 3-year warranty. Daily maintenance is handled through front-panel displays, toolless access panels, and a single-side fuel fill and oil drain and filter layout, so oil checks and routine service do not require major disassembly.

What to check before buying

At 501 pounds, this is a heavier, industrial, career-welder-class machine, so plan your mounting and lifting setup accordingly. The engine is rotated toward the front for more efficient, quieter airflow, which Miller states helps when working near occupied buildings or for long stretches on site.

What's covered on the main machine? The listed manufacturer's warranty on this unit runs 3 years; the separate remote key fob carries its own 3-year coverage.
