Rizzo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I've had an eskimo barracuda for about 8 years now. No major troubles other than in REALLY cold (-30) temps we had about 7 years ago it wouldn't start...guys around me with jiffy's had no problem. When the sun warmed things to around -15 it worked. Stalls out once in a while but that may be my gas mixture or some other setting I haven't adjusted. All in all its been ok, not fantastic, but fine.

bow slayer Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I had a eskimo 3hp 85 cc 10 inch auger for 14 years. Never had a problem with it. I sold it last spring for 300 bucks,I paid 350 for it brand new.Only reason I sold it was my father was selling his brand new still in the box jiffy for the same 300 bucks.

bow slayer Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was just in Canadian Tire and both the jiffy 30 8 inch and eskimo viper are on sale. The difference in price is only 40 bucks. 339 for eskimo and 379 for the jiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
