toughI bought this little guy about a month ago and I'm thoroughly impressed. I was skeptical because of the size. I had intended on purchasing a larger tiller but convinced myself to save some money and try this unit. my garden is approximately 20x60 and I have always turned it by hand. As soon as I got home i put the earthquake together and put it to work. My soil was compacted and had all my maple leaves covering it, this little guy had no problems. Granted i had to make a couple of passes just because it doesn't have the depth a rear tiller has but i am ready to plant and the soil looks great. I am very happy about my purchase and highly recommend this product. The earthquake is extremely versatile so I think it meets any size gardeners needs.

Obviously designed by a man!I returned the product. It was absolutely impossible to start. You could not hold the machine and pull on the starter rope at the same time. A small engine should start within five pulls--I was still trying after 15. This is the ideal size of machine for a woman's gardening needs, but yours definitely isn't.
This is a 2 Cycle gas engine, if you are looking for a similar model you would be looking for the MC440 our part number is 12802 and this is a four cycle. Thank you!

The Dethatcher Kit is very effective for lifting away the excessive matted layers of thatch that can prevent moisture,
oxygen and nutrients from penetrating the soil and can harbor disease and insects. Use in Spring, Summer, and Fall to
bring life and color back to your lawn. This is an attachment for the MC43, the Dethatcher Assembly replaces the tines on the tine assembly.

Will this work to break up ground? I don't need a huge area, but it's an area I just don't have the energy or strength to do by hand.
Asked by: bbgail
The MC43 isn't designed to break ground, its meant to cultivate soil is already broken. It may work to break some softer soil, but again that is not it's intended purpose. You would be looking for a tiller.

Does the tiller run at one speed or can it be adjusted.
Asked by: Dave21
Hi, this cultivator does not have a speed regulator as it is not self propelled. The throttle regulates how fast the tines spine, which does have some play in it to regulate the speed of the tines. The speed of the cultivator itself is going to be determined by how fast you are pushing the unit. I hope this helps. Thanks!
