what size auger? Possible to ask seller what it weights?

The power head maybe 28lbs alone, then depending on auger size.

I have an old SM mag 2000 or 3000 with a 10" auger. It weighs around 40 pounds. I don't use it anymore but it is a beast. Probably needs carb rebuilt and fuel lines replaced if I ever wanted to use again.

My 25 year old 8" jiffy model 30 weighs in at 36# and still running. The weight is good for drilling holes in thick ice without having to use any down pressure, just hang on and let the weight of it drill the hole. Drills at about 1 inch per second. I break out the old jiffy when we get ice over 20" when the ice is that thick I just set it on the tailgate and drive the truck from hole to hole for drilling, so really not carrying it that much. I also have a 8" extension on it so I don't have to bend over when drilling thick ice.
