^------------ Smart Man !

Yes for sure I would do the Z71 , I have one and love it. !

Any progress on the pull start defect?

This^^^^

lol

I just picked up an Eskimo z51 at fishing hole for $100 off. Not sure how long the sale is on for.

well i was leaning towards the Ion but after a bit of searching i dont think i'll find one near red deer. none of the CT stores show any stock.

Is the difference between 8" and 10" enough to worry about???

Ask her.....

I sent Eskimo an email describing the issue.

The Eskimo folks sending me a full spare coil and puller thingy assembly. Free of charge, overnight, no questions asked.

The one on the new unit just didn't retract smoothly and sometimes left a few inches of cord that I had to wiggle back in ......

but it seems ok now ......... it just happened a few times when it was out for it's maiden voyage ....

..might have just needed to be broken in and loosened up a little maybe?

I might have been pulling too hard - I noticed, last time out a short quick pull and she fires up in minus 30 - no problems.

I guess I was used to my snow blower which is a workout !!!!!! lol - it was probably just me .....

I guess I will have a spare coil thingy.

Hey !!!!!! I thought we silenced you !!!!!! :)

Send some of those gullible southern Alberta humpy perch this way !!!!!!!!!! Lake X is running dry.

I need a 10" hole to do my best work in comfort.

Bingo, I use the strikemaster lazermag 10 and it cuts great.

Rapala black ice 43 cc
 

I have the rapala black ice 43 cc works great! Just enough power to get job done comes apart very easily for transport and here's the kicker 349 at bass pro for the 10 inch

First off, It is not a defect, Just a ****ty Knot , And yes, Eskimo has sent my pc, it will be here on Monday, However, I have rigged it up to be useable for the time being !

But still the best out there

Don't worry EZM, jealousy is a Bi@tch lol lol

I was looking at the Strike master with the New Honda Engine on it, Now that thing looks like a great investment, Anything with a Honda small engine has to be good !

Canadian Tire has some and they look nice , Never tried one, but want to now

Get a Tempest 43cc from Costco for $349....same thing as the Eskimo 43cc with Viper engine but green. Buy a 4 person 6X12 tent from costco with the other $300 bucks....Done deal!

LC

bass pro 300$

:thinking-006::sHa_sarcasticlol:

edit

i bought the Jiffy 4 pro propane 10" and it works great. One pull starts every time. I bought it at Cabela's for $489 on sale.:sHa_shakeshout:

Well motor wise maybe.....
I don't like their blades, they lose their edge way too easy on dirty ice.
