Question for Jim

I had owned John Deere 510 backhoe, and kept it together with 230 amp Lincoln stick AC welder (buzz box). Now I have a bunch of clam bull rakes in various states of repair. Not exactly sure what I want do just yet (likely cut them down somewhat in size since a 30 inch bull is now a bit too much for me,) but my stick welder is useless in trying to weld the thin high carbon steel teeth on. Would one of those $150 (made in China) flux core wire welders be good enough to wire these clam baskets together or would I just be wasting my money? If I have to go to MIG and gas, it would probably be cheaper just to purchase a new rake head.
