I can not answer you question but I will say that the trailblazer line is light years better than the Bobcat line. Once you run the trailblazer you wish you had dumped the bobcat long ago. I do not know much about the Ranger line but if it welds about like your bobcat it is not very good. I have run many Bobcats on job sites over the years and I just hate welding with them. I would not give up my 302 for anything unless I was pipe welding. Even that the trailblazer does alright but there are better machines for that application . Look around for a used one. I picked mine up with 16 hrs on it for $3600. There are a lot of guys that buy them to start a business then find out they either do not have connections or that the price of liability insurance is too expensive or unobtainable.
If Everlast does start building them I would not buy one unless I could weld with it first or it had a good test/review on weldingtipsandtricks.com. Gas drive welders are not all the same believe me.
