The old model 30 jiffy is going to get retired after about 20 grueling winters and was thinking about a new Jiffy stealth 3 hp model ,My question is ,has anyone used the strikemaster 4 stroke ones yet ?? I know they are a lot lighter but do they have the power of the two strokes ,,as we get upwards of 36" of ice here and need something that will handle that kind of abuse,we start em up at 20 below and wide open they go till all holes are cut ,dont know if the four stroke will take this or not without warming up first ???

Yooper,
I've got the Stealth and it cuts quick and deep (with the 3 foot extension). Two stroke keeps it light too. They came out with a two hp that is supposed to be the cat's meow. Hope it works out for you.
