I use a Jiffy 2hp (newer style) and its great. I was
glad I didnt spend the extra money on the 3hp.

If you plan to use your auger in norther ontario, maybe
the 3hp would be more suitable. The 2hp may not like
36 inch of ice.

Im in southern ontario where ice is rarely over 12".

Good Luck,

My only suggestion would be to buy a 10" it makes a nicer hole and fish are easier to land.

They're also making some now that are relatively light. Take the weight into consideration too! When you have to lug it around, you'll know what I mean.

Yes you can pull it on a sled, but when you make 10-20 holes in an area, which isn't out of the question when fishing groups, the weight can become a factor.
