Earthquake 20015 Versa 2-in-1 Tiller Cultivator with a 99cc 4-Cycle Viper Engine, 2-in-1 Front Tine Tiller and Cultivator, Removable Side Shields and Outer Tines

I bought this in the fall when it was on sale for use in the Spring. I wanted a bigger tiller which was easy to start. It took about two hours for me to carefully assemble, and it had two bolts which were the wrong size but I had a large supply of other bolts and had the correct size. I used it for the first time about three weeks ago and I am very pleased. It started very easily and did a great job working up a garden that was not used last year.

Lovely machine seems to run great I was gonna give it four stars or three stars just because the instructions on this thing are pathological they’re absolute trash I managed to figure it out although I had a couple leftover bolts, which I have no idea what they go to. They don’t seem to fit any of the bolt holes anywhere other than that I’m pleasantly happy with my purchase. I will update as I continue to use the machine.

I was in dire need of a tiller for my garden. I was sick and tired of always borrowing one or having to pay someone to do my tilling for me. I looked around online and this product got consistently good reviews and I can see why! First of all, the power this thing has is insane. I live in SC and the ground here can get baked into some HARD dirt. If you don't have a powerful enough tiller, the ground will beat you (and the machine) to death. Not this thing! Yeah, it was still like wrangling a mule but only because I'd never tilled the particular spot I chose. After I got it turned under one good time and went back through, it churned it up super soft. It dug deep, too. It's a 99cc engine so the tilling capacity is perfect for me. Pretty easy to use. Putting the thing together wasn't difficult, just took some time. Luckily, the vast majority of the machine comes preassembled. There are maybe 10 steps or so for the end-user to tackle and they weren't difficult. This thing works like a CHAMP. After I got it assembled, I put oil in it (btw, it comes with a half quart of oil), filled it with fuel, turned on the switch and the choke - and it started up ON THE FIRST PULL! Wow...I didn't know how to act when it started so easily. I only had one small complaint about the design: the screw that held one of the handlebars to the rest of the tiller came off while I was tilling and I didn't realize it. By the time I did, there was no hope of finding that screw. Luckily, I found a screw that fit from my "collection" of screws and fixed it. I went ahead and checked the one on the other handlebar and it was getting pretty loose, too, so I just took the original screw out and replaced it with another one from my "collection" and I've not had any issues since. I don't think the original screws were quite long enough to avoid backing out due to the vibration while running. That's the only ding I can give this thing. For the price, I think it's an excellent machine.

This is a great buy. Works great and starts right up 2 seasons in a row.

Great so far used twice, great gas consumption, easy to use !!!

What more could I want???? At this time it is everything I wanted it too be.

Let me start this off with, I'm not a little human. I am 5'6, 255 pound. I work out every day. With that out of the way... I now know I can not fight a bear.Assembly wasn't to hard it was mostly complete. I fire this bad chicken up on the second pull and it purrs like a kitten. I push it into the garden where the ground is now like cement and engage the PTO. It promptly shoots across the garden like a missile slamming into the fence.OK so hold it tight, got it. I start chipping away at the cement earth as this thing is bucking and bouncing like a bronco. I think huh so that's why they call it Earthquake. After fighting with it for 20 minutes I realized the depth gage is all the way up. So I adjust the depth and it starts eating earth like it's scrambling for the last of grandma's apple crumble.Once I figured out I'm dumb and how to use it I would buy it again.Note: Boys, we would indeed lose a fight to a bear....

SAVE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND SUPREME AGGITATION AND DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS MANUFACTURER!!!!!!!!!!!!!We were wanting to till up about a half an acre to plant some mustard greens and less than 30 minutes after We started to till the garden. I thought it was the pull rope that broke but after we got some time to look closer at the tiller the engine had seized up and nothing would move on the engine. We verified that the engine had oil in it at the correct level and the oil is what was shipped with the tiller.SAVE
