Earthquake MC43 Cultivator with 43cc Viper Engine is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 283.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works, To me, It-Don't-Get-No-Better-Than-That. Second one I've owned. First one was destroyed during one of my brain-dead moments; while trying to start it, I left the carburetor filter off and dirt entered the cylinder, (It was not good enough to withstand that). I liked it enough to buy another one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use I recently purchased this cultivator to break up soil between rows and till in compost. It works very well for this purpose. The only thing I experienced was the hard initial pull, when starting for the first time. Other than that I have had no problems. The times are easy to reposition too. Works exactly as I expected!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Difficult to start I purchased this about 2 months ago. The pull cord consistently sticks, so starting is nearly impossible. I could pull it out a couple inches at a time, it stops. So getting a full pull to start was not possible. I can start my own chainsaws, weedwackers, push mowers, etc... not this. My husband even had a hard time starting it. Works great once you have it running. Any suggestions????

is this a four cycle engine?

Asked by: fraer
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!

describe edger attchment

Asked by: blondie2
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.

Brand new machine...read all directions. The problem is the pull cord, which does not pull like a lawnmower. The cord 'chunks' out 3 inches at a time. Nothing I do will make the cord pull out in a smooth, swift action. I managed to get it going once.Help.
