eskimo z71 8 inch?

[hntrboy]

I'm looking to buy a new auger. Was going one direction but now would like to get an eskimo z71 with an 8inch auger. Anyone know if that is available..where?

Yup, and they are on sale, take a look:

Eskimo makes a great auger, go for it.  You won't be disappointed.

Oops, just realized that's the Z51, not the Z71.  Went on Eskimo's website and they do not have an 8" Z71 listed, so it probably doesn't exist, however you could probably buy the 10" and then get an 8" to put on it.  The Z51 would perform very well though.

Lifeguard..thanks for the tip but that auger is the 51.7cc not the 71.

Sorry about that, can't seem to find an 8", but a 10" isn't a bad price right now either.

Just get the 10" you will be happy with the bigger hole.

I wonder if you could just buy the powerhead separate from the bit?

This is what I did, purchase the 10" and picked up an 8" auger. Tightlines...
