Yeah I thought it was the ice build up, but I had the same problem the first time I used it last weekend.
I know I'm quite rough pulling the auger out of the hole after I hit water to help clear the slush. Will that wreck the blades?
I think one of my friends may have slammed the auger down to plant it in the snow one time... I wonder if that would have damaged the blades...
Anyways, it seems that the blades need sharpening. Anyone have any ideas where to get them sharpened? I have whetstones but based on my experience sharpening knives I'll probably make things worse.
