The best deals to find an auger can be found online. However, that may not be an option for many ice fishermen. Then they would be able to go to a store such as Cabella's or Dick's Sporting Goods and find an ice auger there.
I have a older model #30 jiffy it says the mixture is 24/1.
You can use an ice chisel, however.......A good ice auger even a hand unit is the way to go. Cost is under $100. If you really want to ice fish seriously, a gas auger is the way to go. They make even thick ice a breeze.
Probably would need some kind of gearbox reduction. A motor of a weedeater would be spinning the auger blade at such a high rpm I think it might bog down as soon as you hit the ice with it. Rotatiller motors have a gearbox reduction on them already. What size cc is the engine?
The site Ice Fish has a readily available user's manual for a particular type of ice auger, which includes instructions on how to set it up and operate it. If one learns best by doing, the best way to learn how to operate an ice auger would be to ask an ice fisherman to demonstrate.
