EARTHQUAKE Victory Rear Tine Tiller, Powerful 209cc 4-Cycle Viper Engine, Rugged Bronze Gear Transmission, Counter-Rotating Tines, Instant Reverse, Pneumatic Wheels, Model: 39381, Red/Black

This is the best tiller for the price you can get. Run a small farm and use it quite a bit. Exactly small enough to be nimble, but big & powerful enough to work on large fields. Super easy to assemble, very powerful, and easy to operate. Took all winter to decide on the best one for our business. Couldn't be happier. Also, it's cheapest and they'll deliver it obviously, if ordered through Amazon. Found at Ace, Coastal , and Home Depot for $100 more, + $200 delivery fee. Do yourself a favor and get through here. Very stoked we got this and it's actually awesome. (The big engine is worth it, as the 99cc is too small for large fields imo)

This Tiller is the best ever! Very clear directions. Well built and works great. 5yr. warranty also. Would recommend to buy

This tiller operates smoothly, but had trouble with my rocky soil. It seems to handle smaller rocks. I had it jam up on baseball-sized and larger rocks. The reverse system normally cleared the jams perfectly. The second time I used it, about the sixth time it jammed up, it locked up the transmission. I sent an email to ask about the warranty, and they said " If this damage is caused by hitting the rocks causing damage to the transmission it would not be covered under warranty." I was disappointed, I had purchased this unit because it had a warranty, but I realized my belief was too good to be true. Since it has the reverse to handle jams, I 'assumed' it would not be damaged by hitting rocks. I have previously ruined two cheaper chain-drive tillers that each lasted more than two seasons. I was under the impression a gear drive, with a warranty, would last longer. I dismantled the tiller to look at the transmission. I did not fully dismantle, but I was able to turn the tines backward with a pipe wrench, and then spin forward several times to 'smooth' out damage on the gear. The forward belt also had to be replaced. I reassembled and used it again last night. Jammed up on rocks eight or ten times, but cleared properly with the reverse handle, and kept going. I assume I now have a weak spot on my gear. I am planning to buy a spare gear ($87 on website), to be ready for serious repair. They are currently out of stock for the oil seals, and other miscellaneous parts that I was hoping to get for spares. I use the tiller to clear the weeds between the rows of growing plants. The tiller makes a ridge of dirt on each side of the tilled area, so my plants are getting hilled up a little. I am able to till between the rows of a 70x100 garden in about an hour.

Terrible machine. The tires are ineffective to move the machine forward against the reverse cutting tines. i tried the tires in the correct and reverse direction and both worked terribly. I had to physically push the tiller forward through a garden that's been tilled regularly for years. The video shows the first tilling of the year, but when I did it a second time through the same area, it was even worse trying to push it forward. Absolutely horrible. It did start up nicely, and actually ran pretty quietly. I owned an Ariens rear tiller in the past which worked great. But I sold it when I purchased a john deere tractor with a rear tiller. i now have a Toro zero turn mower. So I am selling my john deere mower with the tiller, and I thought it would be a good idea to downsizetto this tiller .but that was certainly a mistake. I absolutely do not recommend this rototiller.

YOU WANT THIS ROTOTILLER! It's powerful, sturdy, and is backed by GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. One part on mine was dented. I sent a photo to the company, and they Fedexed the replacement part (+another they thought I might need) right out to me -- no hassle, no paperwork. This tiller was easily assembled, using a couple adjustable wrenches. Excellent manual and parts list. It also has a REVERSE GEAR, which is a life (and back!) saver for tilling corners.

OK, so its a name brand you might not be familiar with... i wasn't, turns out they are made in Minnesota or something... basically southern Canada. Anyhow its strong like bull, small tree roots? ha! it laughs at them... sprinkler system you didn't know was installed? Diced like a tomato on JVC! A family of burrowing rodents? SHREDDED! I have admittedly pretty soft soil to begin with it being mostly alluvial sands that are amazing to garden in and why we bought this property. However i wanted to put in a solid half-acre garden and by the time you rent a tiller for a few days that might not have been taken care of, then use and return it you might as well have purchased your own. I have a lot of experience with tillers and market gardening even big-time farming. This is easily my favorite tiller that i have used and i have used some big boys like the BCS series. A pro tip: You dont need to slam the reverse lever up, you just need to let go of the go bar, then smoothly and gently raise the reverse lever until it kicks into reverse then just let go when you are backed up to where you want to be. The only thing i don't like is that there is no neutral drive gear for the tine motion. if the critter is moving... its tines are moving. you can slip the cotter pins so the wheels don't rotate with the tines and then just push it wherever you want it to go. Screw that, raise the tines up to the highest they go, tilt her forward a bit and drive the beast to where you want to till. Remember: Tilling takes everything on top and forces it to the bottom. so on pass one, it will bury the stuff on top... pass 2 will bring it back up... pass 3 bury/mix, pass 4 bring it back up ETC so remember to put your adjuncts like fertilizer or whatever you want tilled and mixed into your soil on your LAST ODD NUMBER PASS. Other uses for the tiller i have found: It makes trenching a breeze! Just till the line you want to trench out, scoop out the now super soft dirt... bam ready to lay irrigation.. or fix the irrigation you destroyed tilling! All parts of the tiller that could be damaged by the weather or leaving it outside in the rain can easily be covered with a small trash bag, open the trash bag, put it over the head, pull the strings tight around the base and tie it off. good to go! Don't let the weather ruin your tiller and i see this thing lasting at least a decade of hard use... and i use it HARD. Also, this unit REALLY likes ethanol free gas.

Delivered to the door. Some assembly time, but no problem. Handles chunks of rock in the soil well. Excellent in hard, undisturbed ground as well as the previous garden areas.

When I got home, the package was already delivered. It was damaged and it was taped up with clear tape. I opened the box and the rear of the rotor teller was damaged. Also, the on and off switch was broken would be nice if you sent me a new switch I bent the rear of the tiller back up and cut the switch and put two adapters on it runs great going to try to reuse it tomorrow
