[QUOTE="MarbleEyez, post: 73701, member: 1292"] I've got the same auger, only in 10". I wouldn't have bought anything else. I haven't had a auger that cuts nicer than this one. I'm not putting my entire body weight on it to cut, but I don't have too. The only problem I had with it was the first couple times I used it, I ran the head all the way down to clear out the ice/slush in the hole and it wouldn't run worth a crap after that. [I]"First off if you push down on it at all while its cutting it will stall out, not die out but it won't turn and cut[/I]." . Sounds like this is exactly what is happening to you. What happened was the water spalshed up into the air filter and froze so it was choking itself out. I Put the auger in the cab for 10-15min and it ran like a champ since after that. I picked up an auger extension so I wouldn't have to run the auger head down to the ice and that fixed the problem. I also used it up at Lake Winnipeg, when it was -30.
