Interesting concept, I'll have to try it sometime!
The reason I love the Eutectic 680, it's high nickel content, runs damn cold and has great ductility. I've successfully welded leaf spring main leafs with it years ago, I'm still impressed. Mind you that doesn't mean you can't weld anything Deere made or makes with 7018, it is my go to rod for field repairs and many shop jobs. Sometimes I go with the belt and suspenders plan though! YMMV
