## Description

The Earthquake MC43 Cultivator with 43cc 2-Cycle Viper® engine has plenty of power to weed, work-in fertilizer, or aerate soil. It is designed to work in all kinds of pre-tilled soil. The MC43’s small size and light weight not only make it easy to transport, but it also enhances maneuverability around plants without damaging them. Quickly and easily remove the outer tines to make the MC43 even more maneuverable for those extra tight spaces. Overhand control reduces bouncing and jumping, allowing you to remove your weeds, not your plants. The adjustable transport wheels allow you to easily move from storage to the work site without having to load or carry your equipment. Simply adjust the wheels to control your tilling depth when cultivating and lower them. Use with optional Edger accessory to maintain clean borders and edges, and dethatcher kit for healthy lawns (sold separately). With a US based support team and industry leading 5-Year Warranty, this cultivator will perform for years to come.

Review: absolutely worth the money - Starts very easily, runs with good power for tilling, blades work very well, the retainer clips are strong and don't pop off while using, the blades come off easily for taking out twisted on roots, and washing off dirt , then a spritz of wd-40 to keep rust off in storage between uses. The tiller is very thifty on fuel and can use for well over an hour on 1 fill. I was surprised at how quiet it is compare to my old tiller and much quiter than push mower. The only issue i found with tiller is the wheels are too close together and tips over constantly if you try rolling around like from garden to garage. so i end up carrying it back and forth and a little annoying
Review: works great !! - It was easy to put together all bold and fitting went on tight, been using it for awhile now. i had to put a new carb on it, but they sent me another one for free and was easily put on. rememebr to prim 6 or 7 times and use a full tank of gas, the first time. i didnt realise the seal was on the inside of the cap, might have messed up the prime button. but a very good product. i had my other one for 6 years customer service said! i ended up using it so much in my garden that it burn the piston ring off....

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great !!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn't work properly out of the box but Ardisam made it right.
*by J***J on August 21, 2024*

It looked tiny when I first opened the box but it turned out the be the perfect size to get around in our flower beds and light enough to carry around. It ran much slower than expected but it got the job done. One time while tilling, it suddenly stopped and I couldn’t get it going again. Worked with tech support who ultimately had me take it to an authorized repair shop. Although it only had about 10 hours of run time, they cleaned the carburetor (apparently the spray carb cleaner I tried didn’t work) and it now runs at a MUCH faster RPM and sounds better. They thought it might have been sitting in a box for a long time before I bought it so things might have gotten gunked up. Although the place I took it to was an authorized repair shop, they didn’t work through the warranty process and charged me. I contacted Ardisam who was very helpful and is in the process of reimbursing me. The cultivator turned out to be a fantastic way to dig a small trench for low voltage wiring - I just took off 3 of the 4 tines. I’d like to suggest larger, clearer labeling of Choke/Run, On/Off which is tiny black lettering imprinted on the black plastic. Obviously it vibrates a lot so I lost a screw to the handle but I happened to have one that fit so I recommend using Loctite on handle screws. Overall I’m very pleased with our purchase.
