[#000000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 4]Thanks guys for all that good info. That Keko adaptor looks like a good one, but costs over twice as much as the Ice Kicker. The Keko is $45. The regular Ice Kicker is $20, and the Ice Kicker 2 is $75 - - that's the one with a 2:1 gear reduction. I've emailed the manufacturer but haven't gotten a response yet. I'll definitely post again after I've ordered something and tried it out. It should at least be fun to play with.
They recommend not using an auger larger than 6" with the regular direct-drive adaptor. The Ice Kicker 2 uses a chain-driven reducer to turn the auger at half the speed, giving much higher torque and hopefully longer battery life.
