The Earthquake Pioneer Dual Direction Rear Tine Tiller is built for gardeners who demand an easy-to-use tiller capable of tackling large gardens. Its dual-direction capability is suited for all phases of planting: Counter Rotating Tine (CRT) mode effortlessly breaks through tough new, virgin soil and stubborn clay, while Standard Rotating Tine (SRT) mode leaves a smooth, fluffy seed bed ready for planting. Getting in and out of tight rows or near fences is effortless with a quick pull of the Instant Reverse handle, letting you turn around on-the-spot, without stopping or shifting gears. A 127cc, 4-cycle Briggs & Stratton engine is paired with a patented ultra-efficient transmission, creating an optimized powertrain that delivers the same sod-busting performance of larger tillers but in a more user-friendly package. At just 143 lbs., it offers unmatched maneuverability compared to heavier 200-lb. competitor models and its lower, wider body and forward-facing engine deliver natural front-to-back and side-to-side stability, which eliminates the need for counterbalance weights and avoids the tippy and top-heavy feel common in other offset engine and transmission designs. Airless rubber tires mounted to steel rims will never go flat and feature extra-wide and aggressive tread blocks that provide maximum traction across any terrain. Easily guide the Pioneer with 2- or 1- hand from either side, keeping footprints out of your prepared seed bed. A three-position adjustable handlebar ensures a comfortable and perfect working height, while trailing rear shield smooths and shapes the soil into a clean, ready-to-plant finish. Backed by an industry leading 5-year limited product warranty and 2-year limited engine warranty and U.S.-based customer support, the Pioneer Dual Direction Rear Tine Tiller will perform for years to come.

Earthquake vs Troy Bilt

3 days ago
I always used a Troy Bilt Rototiller and thought they were the best. However, there are a couple of features about the Earthquake that are better. First of all, the Earthquake has hard rubber tires rather than pneumatic tires, which means you don't have to check tire pressure and pump them up and you'll never have a flat. Second, the tines flare outward from a solid disc which prevents weeds from getting tangled in the tines. With the Troy Bilt, any long weeds always got wrapped around in between the tines and were very difficult to remove. And finally, the Earthquake offers forward rotating and counter rotating gears for the tines. This allows you to do light cultivating in the forward motion and deep, heavy tilling in the counter rotating motion. At a cost of about $1300 compared to a Troy Bilt at $1700, I would say the Earthquake is a better value.

Everything I could have hoped for...

17 days ago
The tiller has been everything I was looking for. I went through 2 other tillers this season, before finding the Earthquake. The Earthquake has been all I could hope for. It is smooth, easy to handle, and performs wonderfully.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great Tiller

3 months ago
This is a great tiller. I was able to till up 1/2 of my garden in half the time that it takes with the front tine tiller. I first used the counter-rotating, then I used the forward rotation to finish the till. The garden has sandy soil that results in pushing the front tine tiller most of the time, and it is very hard on my back. This tiller pulled itself without any pushing. I am very pleased with my purchase and the operation of this tiller.
