Lincoln Bulldog 5500 – AC Welder / Generator (5500W Output)

The Lincoln Bulldog 5500 is a compact engine-driven welder-generator designed for portable stick welding (SMAW) and auxiliary AC power generation. It is commonly used for farm work, maintenance, light construction, and emergency backup power, where mobility and simplicity are more important than advanced multi-process welding.

It combines a gasoline engine-driven alternator system with a stick welding output around 125–140A class, along with a 5500W AC generator output for powering tools and equipment on job sites.
