Such alloys are usually referred to by the (U.S. Steel owned) trademark 'COR-TEN' over here (Belgium). I believe they are not exactly cheap but they do get used for outside applications a lot indeed, although it seems to me that it's usually monuments or works of art that are built with them.

Here's an example of a 'floating' staircase (basically a fancy lookout tower, for tourists) close to one of my cutting places, made out of weathered steel. The thing was built with a lot of flex in it, if you want to be alone on it (it's quite a popular thing to visit), you just have to jump for a little while... soon enough all the others will have left :p:cool:.

Yep, cor-ten is the stuff I looked at :envy: , I have expensive taste for sure!
Is that the staircase that was built to honor lord biden :laughing:.
Not sure why you’d need high flow unless for something like blowing snow.
To run that brand new masticator he's gonna buy :p.
🤣 You guys both underestimate my a**! 😉
I think you misunderstood what I was :barbecue:.
It was meant as a joke, as you said you wanted to "leave no rock unturned" kinda hard with either machine :).

One more post on the skidsteer thing for KK and then I’m gonna try to be done 🤣

If I asked about what saw to buy for my business I’m sure I’d get a lot of different answers, ranging from a small light saw to KK telling me to go buy a STIHL 661.

And I’d probably still buy a Husky 372 and be happy with it 👍

Ported 90cc saw FTW, cause everyone knows a 120 is just too heavy ;).
Oh, and most importantly, it's gotta be orange :happy:.

Edit; forgot to say, I'm actually enjoying it, lots of learning :).
I've actually wanted a mini skid for quite some time, but the little tractor came along at the right price and did a fine for a bit. That being said, if I was doing tree work on a daily basis(as in everyday), I'd have a mini, they are low impact on lawns for what they are capable of, very quick to get on/off, great all around visibility, and fairly light to haul.

Now that's the kind of stuff I wanna see all day! Because you ain't loaded unless you're "OVERLOADED!!!"😉
Here you go, it's obvious the guy riding this whatever the heck it is is overloaded, who gets that smiley about riding something like that :rolleyes:. Then again, I guess it's better than walking!
