Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
The Nils looks awesome but the price is a little daunting.Here is what I have learned so far. Jiffy is the heaviest but probably the fastest, strikemaster is the lightest but durability may be an issue (lots of plastic). The Eskimo is the cheapest and 2nd lightest but the Stingray is only 1.2HP so will that be REALLY slow or willi t be similar in cutting time to my Jiffy 30?
The Eskimo Mako is also available in 10" at 33 lbs.I just bought a Rapala Nitro auger in 8" for $249 (Can) on sale at Canadian Tire. This is just a re-branded Eskimo Mako with all the same parts & specs other than paint colour & stickers.(Image removed from quote.)Not sure if they are available south of the border though.The Fleet Farm deal sounds decent.
I just ordered one when they had them on sale. Still waiting for it to come in though.
I picked mine up at the store when they went on sale.In store stock cleaned off the stores selves fairly quick. First store I went to had none but checked nearby stores on the computer for me and I headed for a nearby store that had 6 left. Only 4 left when I got there & one less a couple minutes later.
