HI,

I am interested in purchasing this auger. I would really like to from people that are running this same auger. The biggest question I have is do you think the 9" is too big for the 2 horse? I really only want input on this auger as I really dont need a new auger, but I am interested in this model and I dont want to be disappointed if I purchase it. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the exact auger you are speaking of and you wont be disappointed. It cuts like a champ and starts everytime. I would put it up against any auger out there for speed and ease and durability. Its one thing to be able to cut a hole fast in one on one scenario, but how about 25 holes in a row back to back in 18-24" ice. this auger gets the job done!!! Iceman out>

I just picked up a new 8" stealth 2hp, it cuts good actually to good, the blades seem to bite off more than the clutch can handle. My old 3hp would bog down when the blade bit off more than it could handle or when redrilling old holes, the 2hp still revs up and the clutch slips, it feel like the thing is going to rattle apart,

I have had the exact same one for 4 Years. It is plenty of HP. My buddy has the strikemaster lazer. that cuts faster but is heavier and more$. If I was going to do it over I might go that route because weight is not an issue for me.

I bought a 2 H.P. Jiffy Stealth STX this year and I love that machine!! I cuts really fast, reopens holes like nobodys business, and is really light. I have given it a real rigorous test so far this year as I have drilled hundreds of holes with it in below zero weather and I fish everyday. You won't be disappointed with it. I would definately get the 9".

Side question for Jiffy auger people. Can the 2hp ice house handles work on the 3hp model? The Jiffy web site does not list it as a option and no responce from Jiffy people with this question. I was looking to downsize in bulk to fit better in the sled, but the 2 & 3hp use the same handle except for the throttle assembly. Thanks: George

If your not going for lakers or huge toothy critters I would go for the 8". I have the 9" on my 2hp Stealth and plan on buying the 8" drill to go along with my 6" and 9" drills. The 8" is plenty big enough, however the 9" is nice for opening old 8" holes. The Jiffy Stealth really rips through the ice and the blades can easily be re-sharpened with a diamond hone or stone.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
