Have an 8" Nils that I bought in the middle of last season. I have replied to many auger posts with nothing but praise for the unit. Was out on Simcoe with three other guys Sunday and the auger was drilling just fine for all of us. No one noticed anything in or on the ice to cause a problem. Made a major move and when we went to set up it wouldn't drill at all. The unit was iced so we warmed it over the heater to make sure blade was free of ice, but that did nothing. You'd think you were on concrete. Luckily we had a Mora for backup. Anyone ever have a cutting head go bad so fast? Any ideas on what went wrong?
Would appreciate any feedback.
