Your ice auger power head will drill dirt WITH a dirt auger. I bought a 8" dirt auger that fits both my Strike King and Jiffy 2 H.P. ice augers at TSC I belive (Been a few years). I would think that if you used your ice auger you would tear up the blades beyond the point of resharpening. Also the dirt auger is sturdier than the ice auger. I have never attempted to drill frozen ground so can't advise you on that.

Most rental shops have augers, some up to 16" I think and some with remote powerheads driven by flexable shafts that I've used. Depending on the number of holes you need to drill you may be able to rent one cheaper. They would be able to advise you on the frozen ground.


Mistakes are proof that you are trying.
