## Description

This cultivator can weed, mix in fertilizer, and mulch or aerate soil. It is designed to work through all types of pre-tilled earth. Its small size and light weight not only make it easy to transport, but it is also very maneuverable around delicate plants.

Review: Works great - Great product, fast delivery.
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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Was this cultivator difficult to assemble?**
A: No... Not Difficult At All....

**Q: Need carburetor for 4 cycle earthquake tiller model 12802 mc440?**
A: Small engines are mearly all generic.  Look closely for the model of the carbureator or the make and do a search online, Amazon, is a great source or check with Jack's small engines, another excellent source.  Never use ethanol gasoline in your engine or at least shut off the gas valve and run the engine dry each time.  Find a carb with the right hole spacings and for a 40cc engine.

**Q: Does this tiller come with oil, or do I have to order it separately?**
A: It comes with a very small container of oil. You’ll need to buy more later

**Q: what is the horsepower?**
A: This machine is not measured in horsepower, rather it is a 40cc engine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little addition to the shed.
*by R***H on March 16, 2025*

Professional turf guy here. I ordered this machine to use with the detaching attachment. I was really impressed by it. Lots of power, easy enough to use, and I was able to thatch 9,000 square feet of lawn 2 directions in a day (including cleanup). Definitely a workout, and not recommended for anyone without a little muscle or used to this kind of ground engaging equipment. I’ve used it to turn my mulch beds too. It works really for that. It’s not ideal for tilling virgin ground or anything covered it grass, but it will get the job done. My only complaint, after using this machine for a few days, I stored it in my shed for a few weeks. When I went to start it the next time, the engine cylinder had filled with oil and locked up. I had to remove the spark plug, drain the oil, refill the oil, and then I could start it. Since then I store the machine standing up to avoid this. Not sure if this is by design, or a sign of premature wear. Time will tell.
