Go down to Dan Wood's post called "Auger reviews" There is some very good info there.

The only thing I would suggest is to stay away from 3hp models.

Just my opinion

They are all good augers, all use the same motor. one spins one way the other spins the other way. I have a jiffy 3hp 9" and the Ultra 3 blade. The 3hp will out cut when warmed up and spins faster, the 2hp Ultra bogs down a little when cutting.

Since I you didnt mention a Eskimo auger I will. There engines are probably the best out there. I absoutly love them. The gas tank is nice, the moffler is covered, you can lean it on its side, has a choke and a primer, and is built tough.

But if you arent looking at a Eskimo I would go with the SM Ultra 9" 3-blade. A very fast, smooth auger. It works wonders on re-opening old holes too.

i have a 2 horse jiffy legend lightning with the 9" d-icer armor ripper blades. i really like this auger. i took it up to lake of the woods and left it outside in -25 degrees weather and had absolutely no problems starting it. it fired on the third pull. the 9 " seems to be the perfect size for me. i used to fish out of a ten inch hole, but down sized when bringing kids with me. the two horse seems to cut great and when the chipper blade brakes through it seems to bog down a little bit, i just lift up on it and it finishes the hole just fine. i would definately buy another one if i ever have to. just my .02

I would go with Dan Woods advise. He seems to be a smart feller or a fart smeller one or the other.

i think the only difference between the stealth and mine is the addition of two small cutting surfaces on the pilot point. i have a friend with the stealth 8" it cuts nice, but i don't know if it is enough to warrant paying more for it. i got a heck of a deal on mine when i bought it. i bought it at a cabelas side walk sale last fall for 225.00. it was one of four that were new in the box. i have cut probably 200 holes with it so far and i really like it. customer service with the jiffy has been excellent. i have no doubt that there are several other good augers out there. i just happened to find mine on sale and now that i have it i would have paid full price for it in a heartbeat. but i shouldn't have to buy another auger for quite a while. good luck making a decision.

I have a Jiffy 3hp Legend and she cuts great after the 6th hole.(takes awhile to get her warmed up)
I used an Eskimo Barracuda (2hp) the other day and was very immpressed.She started right up and ran great even on the first hole.It cut faster than a warmed up Jiffy too.If you get one you should invest in some Ice Grippers.It will spin you. smile.gif

info i can give now is to buy from a local shop so if there is a problem you can go back to them ,that is if they have a good return policy and ask what there policy is. i'm still trying to get one that works, i'm on # 3 and still waiting.i won't do mail order again for a power auger. too much hassle if they don't work.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now "TW200 pictuer wouldn't post" so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.

      Was up Tuesday and Wednesday this week for a UHV ride to Ely.  Made it out fishing for a few hours those days.  Walleye bite for me was fairly slow but I was only using leftover crawlers.  Most others I saw were using minnows so maybe they were having better luck.  Fall colors should be at peak on Vermilion.  Weather doesn't look the greatest however. Good luck and enjoy the fall season on the lake.
