Ion or honda lite 10" ??

[jay83196]

Looking to get either the Honda lite 10" or the ion battery auger (get a 10" blade later) anybody have any good bad comments I'd appreciate it. My concern how does the smaller 35cc honda motor work with 10" auger and the ion how much of a pain is the battery in the cold? And how they both cut too....

Thanks

I know the 2hp Strikemaster's 2 strokes are 37cc and they do fine with a 10" hole, but can bog down in a lot of ice. Not sure how the 4 strokes are geared, but guessing they would work ok. However if you are going for a 10" I'd recommend going with either the Lazer mag (2.5hp) or the Lazer Pro (3hp). It'll drill easier and quicker in thicker ice. The 2hp will work, but who doesn't like more power??
