Forget flux core wire. You will have to learn a lot about welding before you are ready for 1/2" metal. I am slowly giving up my stick welder for my 120 mig for most of what I weld. Heavier stuff I still like a stick in my hand.
If you can find one, get one of the old Forney AC box welders for your stick. I have two of them that over the years I got for less than 100 dollars each. The first one I got in 1974 and it was old then. They show up on Ebay once in awhile but they don't ship,,they are heavy!! My second one I got at a pawn shop. We were both tickled pink when I bought it. This one also had a battery charger in it. They both have 110 volt outlets.
My mig is a 120 thermal arc and it works wonderful up to 1/4".
Then there are the new units that are combo with both in one unit. Great idea.

I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
