Used a earthquake tiller. Unimpressed. For that price to hoe weeds, not out a lot if you don’t like it. Go for it.

I like that it has wheels, which my Mantis does not, but it looks pretty much like a Mantis in action, though those handles look pretty short compared to.

One thing I don't like about these mini cultivators is that they bounce around too much...lots of power and action but no weight to help keep it under control, so at the end of a session with these it feels like you've been trying to control a bucking bronco all throughout and my nerves are jangling by that time. I think I vibrate inside for the rest of the day after using it. Not a good feeling.

I looked at those when I bought a mini .
My problem was that I repair small equipment and had worked on a couple of them and was not impressed with them.
I bought a Stihl, but it was 2X the price of the Earthquake.
I almost enjoy using the Stihl, almost, not quite!!!!

THANX RICH
