Garden Cultivator
We purchased this cultivator to rip a layer of old dead grass/sod off the top of our existing lawn. We are very happy with the result as it sure reduced the labour intensive workload this would have been otherwise. Afterward we were able to rake out and re-seed with a better result. We also have a large pile of topsoil we keep so we always have soil to top up planters or holes in flower garden after splitting the plants in the fall. This cultivator can plow through this pile of soil to turn over and rid the pile of weeds without so much manual labour. Overall this is an excellent purchase.

Good Quality easily mobility but not a Mantis
I purchased this Earthquake cultivator to replace my Mantis tiller. This is a bit easier to handle however it doesn’t have the same power as the Mantis. I had to go over the soil several times to get the results I wanted. It is much easier to clean for sure. The mobility with the wheels is helpful. I just wish it was a bit more on the RPM.

Great Little Tiller
Reviewed several small Tillers and decided on this one for the size, ease of operation and COST. Bought it after planting our garden to assist in weed control without a lot of "hoe" work. This little Tiller is a workhorse and so light and convenient to use. Easy to crank and it's compact siE and light weight makes it comfortable to handle and zips right through and around my plants without losing control. Other Tillers aroind the same size were more expensive and a bit bulkier in weight. This little Earthquake Tiller is perfect for a small garden, or as an addition to assisting in tighter places. I would highly recommend it to anyone who may have problems with heavier Tillers. Don't let its size fool you. It gets the job done and is light enough to pick up and move when necessary.

mc 43 cultivator
It works well. It definitely works as it should. Just wish the arms or handles were taller. I aggravate my back every time I use it.

Must have for large garden
Wow, where have you been all my life! Started gardening about 5 years ago and wish I had found this a lot sooner. Makes weeding soooo much easier and less time consuming.

Broke immediately
It broke right away and then I was stuck having to take it to a service center rather than refunded.

little demon
Inexpensive little monster, did not think it would do much, it seems so small and light, but it will till, tilled up half the back yard for a flower garden easy to carry around, well worth the money

Great little machine
I was a bit skeptical about this purchase at first due to the size. But I had a quick change of mind from its first use, so much so that I ordered the optional dethacher and completely satisfied with both purchases.

Didn’t last long
We bought this in April and in July it quit working. It was losing gas in a spot that shouldn’t have been possible. We got our refund. Repair was an option however there were many other tillers like ours waited for repair.

Small in size, a Giant in action
The MC43 is a great little machine that will do exactly what it is designed for. We have used it all summer to kept a small garden clear of weeds without any issues, and would highly recommend the product.

Starting Difficulties
Have found it extremely hard to start. I am older and the cord is difficult to pull smoothly.

Good Little Machine
Bought this machine to replace a Troy-Bilt and it didn't disappoint. I use these cultivators for my flower beds, and this year used this one to "till up" a place in my yard and it cut through the grass, weeds, etc with little effort. I wouldn't overwork it though, because I probably used it outside the realm it was built for, but needed it in a pinch. Good, solid, easy to use machine.

I have only used it twice but operated quite well. Impossible to find another tiller in its class for a comparable price.

Powerful motor for its size.
Works great! Takes some practice to use it because it is very light. Works best in softer soil.

Flooding Issues
I was only able to use this for 30 minutes before it started flooding. When it works, it's good for small jobs.

Nice little tiller
Not a bad little tiller, for the price, but it started leaking oil after the first use. Does a pretty good job for its size.

Nice little machine...seems to be built pretty well. Did a nice job cleaning up my already tilled garden. Going to see what it can do at end of season....

Great tiller for small areas
For a small tiller, it actually works really really well. The motor just goes and goes!! It is light weight so it probably isn't the greatest for really hard/compact soil. I used it to till grass between seasons and wife's garden. We are pleased with the purchase. Starts easy and adjustments are easy.

Great power unit!
Bought this to use primarily with the dethatching head. Ran 10+ tanks of fuel through it, absolutely love this as a dethatcher. My neighbor also borrowed it to dethatch his lawn and was also very impressed.

      Great little working machine
      The MC43 cultivator started right up per the manual guidelines and I began tilling me a space in my back yard for a small garden. It was light and easy to handle, and tilled the soil as needed to plant
