Miller Bobcat 230 vs Bobcat 265

Miller Electric's newest engine drives have arrived. We are here to break down the differences and review both the Bobcat 230 and the Bobcat 265. Thy two machines are the exact same physical size. (100 lbs lighter and 13% smaller than the previous generation!) The biggest surprise they are priced LESS than the previous model was. The biggest difference is the advancements and options on the 265. The screen is a visual difference but the capabilities of the machine are far more advanced than the 230.
