Challenge? I love a challenge! I hate to say this, but they already happen. Sometimes when I am on the ice,(and the fish aren't biting) someone shows up with their fancy power auger I will jump up and see if I can out drill them. I win more often than not. A power auger that is not tuned up both motor and blades performes very poorly. All the rules that apply for the manual squad apply to the power crew as well. Dull or bent blades on a power auger drill extremely slow, but motors handle abuse better than humans. I am amazed at how long it takes some power augers to cut through the ice.
Gas $10
Power auger $300
Look on their face when you beat them...PRICELESS!!
One fellow got beat rather handily last year and made the comment "That must be a real good auger or you must be really strong." I just
d and said: "Yup must be one or the other."
I'm not a tough guy,(obviously more muscle that brain though[crazy]) but if you see me out on the ice next season and you want to have a little contest, I'll probably take you up on it. I'll be the one pulling the light sled[
