Me too got a Harrison’s one for not much less than digbits hardox as just didn’t know, forever trying to straighten them on the corner of the blade
Did wonder if I could have the exposed tips of the tines replaced in hardox

Is there anything even harder wearing than Hardox? Can't deny it's good stuff but still finding the grab plates are wearing quicker than I'd like.

Backhoe coming in handy today. New gate and posts for the church.

The church warden gave me a hand to do the job to keep costs down, I think he was impressed how easy it all was with the right equipment and skills. That kissing gate surround will be getting new pickets courtesy of the sawmill soon too, and we’ve cut the timber for the local joiners to make a replacement gate for inside it

Different grades of hardox i think, also I think there is a redox too but unsure of the difference

You get harder metals but hardox(abrasive plate) is still weldable and impact resistance is good whereas tool steel and high-speed steels are not weldable and ceramics are not impact resistant.
You can go from 400-450-500-550-600 and is still weldable and supposably still machinable, I have boxes of buggered drills and countersinks that would tell you otherwise 🙃
