[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1847820, member: 6291"] A lot of people on the farm don't like to use 7018 for that reason. They can be a little harder to use, also. Lucky me I grew up with a welder and he wouldnt let me use any thing else hardly. In 6th grade I had my first shop class. I came home and told my dad I was welding in class. That was the first thing he asked me. What rods did you use? I can't remember if it was a 6010 or 6011 but he just shook his head. He went outside and loaded up a canister with 7018s and sent me back to school with it. 😄 We use to build cattle pens, hog traps, cattle guards, oil field equipment, trailers and a lot of other stuff when he had his shop growing up. He guaranteed every weld for the life of the item.. sucker rod, cattle panel welded on, etc. People would ask about the cattle panels coming loose and he told them the welds on the panels will break before my welds from the panel to the metal will. He was right. I have seen both cattle and hogs break the welds on the panels first. We had to cut off the panel and replace it. The welds never broke. [/QUOTE]
