Tough, yet lightweight, Earthquake's 1-Person Earth Auger Powerhead is ideal for the occasional project around the house, farm or ranch. It is great for building decks, installing fences, soil sampling, mailbox installations, planting trees and many other outdoor projects. A 43cc, 2-cycle Viper engine provides plenty of power to conquer all types of soils and clay and a rugged transmission contains long-lasting ball bearings and hardened steel gears that will withstand years of abuse. Welded steel handlebars hold up to the rigors of the job while comfortable foam grips reduce vibration and let you work all day with ease. With a 7/8" smooth shaft earth auger connection point, this unit pairs with any Earthquake 7/8" smooth shaft earth auger bit (sold separately). Backed by an industry leading 5-Year Limited Warranty and a U.S.-based support team, the 1-Person Earth Auger Powerhead will perform for years to come.

Q: What is the horse power. Is there a gear reduction

a year ago
1 Answer
  • A: Our 1-person powerheads are all 2-cycle engines but we do offer a 4-cycle, 2-person powerhead that has a 173cc Kohler engine. Yes, the Earthquake 1-Person Earth Auger Powerhead with a 43cc Viper 2-Cycle Engine has a gear reduction. Specifically, it utilizes a 30:1 gear reduction system. This means for every 30 rotations of the engine, the output shaft rotates once, increasing the torque at the auger bit. Ardisam, Inc.

Good reliable powerhead

This starts almost instantly and has powered the auger through some tough soil. It has some modifications from my older engine and seems just better engineered. It was worth the cost.

Best one man auger out there.

2 years ago
This was by far the best investment I have made yet. I am planting 500 trees around my property and it's been doing great. I had my 14 year old son use it with a little struggle but he was able to handle it. We took turns and drilled over 100 holes in 2 hours. I would semi stop when you hit a rock, which was nice as oppose to breaking both your wrist!! I would recommend highly.
