Rust is not generally the failure mode on most well made steel rings
Hehehehe.....you make me laugh Jim. What is then???
For me it's two things:
1) Them getting frozen-in and then what I do next
2) Dropping a silage bale into one without perfect depth-perception.
I've never had one rust out before, but my oldest one is only about 10 years old :)
I just buy the cheapest ones around and then when I break one, it's usually only 1 of the 3 pieces so I usually have between 1 and 2 spare sections laying around to fix it. I wouldn't buy a stainless steel one because I wouldn't be able to allow myself abuse it.
