Has anyone tried the Arksen 10" ice auger head? I have been looking for a old Mora 10" for awhile now with no luck so i decided to give this a try. First impressions were not bad, head weighs 9lb 9oz, however the closer I look the more crummy welds I am seeing hopefully these are merely cosmetic imperfections... I will need to build an 18-22 inch aluminum adapter/extension to get it mounted up to my Milwaukee mud mixer. Looks like the bolt pattern wont line up for the standard 10" shaver style blades either, so i may be modifying the auger to accept the Mora style shaver blades once the original blades get dull. Too bad someone doesn't build a really nice 10" shaver style since i would have easily spent twice as much for a auger with better looking welds that took a standard 10" shaver style blades. Im planning on using this primarily for a wheelhouse trailer build i have been working on for a while.
One of the reviews on Amazon has a person that claims to have put it on his clam plate and cut holes. My guess is the pitch is close to that of the old mora hand auger.

Has anyone tried the Arksen 10" ice auger head? I have been looking for a old Mora 10" for awhile now with no luck.I'm still here with the 10" folding Mora. I've been keeping 1 eye open for a suitable shipping box but i'm still striking out. Not giving up tho.I'm keen on keeping the blades as when I find a 8" hand auger with 8" flite I want to modify the 10" Mora blades to cut a 9" hole. Many hand augers have flite 1" smaller than the blade size. (Mora, Nils)...

I'm going to keep after a 10" Mora it's what I really want anyway..... Why settle for something that's not what you want??? The search continues...
Well, i boxed it back up to return it and they instead refunded the money and told me to go ahead and keep it.... Weird deal...

10" Mora (folding w/blades) is boxed up and ready to go.Attached is a picture of the good side. I'll weigh it and get a Fedex shipping price (Monroe Iowa).
Just a tip......but send it back. Another guy tried one and the blades were pitched to aggressive.
