Features

  • DUAL DIRECTION- Operate in CRT mode (counter rotating tines) to bust sod and till tough soils, then shift to SRT (standard rotating tines) to create a smooth seed bed for planting. Designed for performance, the Pioneer uses a lighter and quieter 99cc Viper engine that is right-sized for the job reducing the weight and offering a smoother, less noisy and more balanced experience during operation.
  • FRUSTRATION FREE SHIFTING- Pioneer removes the guesswork from getting in gear with a shift positioning system that other dual direction tillers envy. No fuss, no cuss, no back and forth... easily find the drive mode you want by simply sliding the shift handle into your preferred mode on the locator plate.
  • INSTANT REVERSE- Unlike its competitors, Pioneer takes the shift out of backing up. Seamlessly maneuver backward in your garden with the quick pull of a handle. Release the handle to go forward again.
  • AIRLESS WHEELS- Not only will the super-wide airless wheels never go flat, they have seriously aggressive lugs for clawing at the dirt for maximum traction.
  • DROPSHIP PACKAGING- Ships in TWO Boxes. Box 1: Includes Tiller & Box 2: Includes Wheels

Description

If you’ve ever used a rear tine tiller before you know they are the best way to break up sod and till soil. But if you’ve ever put a rear tine tiller in a garden and tried to control it around fences and precious rows, it may feel like holding onto a bucking bronco or a taking a bear cub for a walk. From breaking ground to creating a smooth seed-bed, the Earthquake Pioneer is designed to give you more control while still providing all of the benefits that dual-directions are known for. The arrangement of the transmission in the middle of the tiller creates a low center of gravity that is the key to a balanced and stable tilling experience. The transmission design also offers incredible efficiency allowing you accomplish the same amount of work as other tillers while taking advantage of an engine that is a lot lighter and a lot quieter than a typical rear-tine tiller. Featuring instant reverse, a simple pull of a handle allows you to back up without shifting gears. Dual control handlebars and a compact footprint make maneuvering in tight spaces a breeze. Our super-wide air-less tires never go flat and provide incredible traction. No matter what your garden challenge, Pioneer is designed to deliver from sod to seed.

  • Good features, surprisingly powerful
Style: Pioneer RTT (Drop Ship 2-boxes)
The Pioneer tiller is light enough & compact enough for my primary purpose, which will be weeding between rows in my 7000 square foot garden, and small bed prep. It has a small engine for a tiller (4-stroke 99 cc.) but because the tiller tines are hardened sheet metal rather than thick bolo tines, it cuts through the soil surprisingly well. It's really hard to get everything you want in any machine without paying top dollar, so it came down to compromises. What I like: - dual direction tilling, so in counter-rotating mode, won't jump forward when breaking ground - a quick-reverse lever, that can be used from the operator position regardless of tilling mode... handy for backing in or out of tight spaces without shifting - light weight & easy to control - REALLY easy starting; it takes a very light pull, probably due to the small engine. Presumably low fuel usage as well, for the same reason. - the drive control has levers on both sides, so can be easily handled from either left or right. One handed operation was effortless. - the machine profile is well designed, so that when tilling next to a fence, there are no sharp edges to get caught. The only thing which might catch is the wheels, which stick out slightly. - relatively quiet operation - assembly was easy, didn't have to "read between the lines" anywhere - friendly, responsive customer service when I had a question What I'm not fond of: - there is only one forward speed (and one reverse). I had to watch several videos of the tiller in operation to ensure I would be happy with that speed (which I am). Unfortunately, only one forward speed seems to be the default for similar tillers in this price range. - the shift lever is located on the transmission, rather than in the operator position - the shift lever has 4 settings; forward tine, reverse tine, drive wheels only, and neutral. With the engine off, the wheels are locked except in neutral. The shift lever is not clutched, so it can be difficult to move between different positions with the engine off. Jiggling the wheels back & forth while shifting helps, and shifting got easier after several uses. - the drive wheels do not turn independently... so easier to keep straight in the row, but harder to turn. That is not really a fault, since independent drive wheels are unlikely in this price range. The wheels are attached by a bolt (precoated with thread lock) which is threaded into the end of the axle, and locked to the axle by a heavy steel pin which mates with a slot in the wheel. If the bolt is not is not tightened enough, the wheel can fall off (which happened to me). When I reported the issue to Customer Service, they were kind enough to replace the missing pin & bolt at no charge, and stated that they would be adding a torque spec for the wheel bolts. Overall, this tiller has a versatile set of features, is easy to operate, and manages to get the job done with a quiet, surprisingly small engine. A good machine for small to medium-sized gardens. ... show more

  • Engine easy start and manouverability
Style: Pioneer RTT (Drop Ship 2-boxes)
Arrived in two separate boxes a day apart. Wheels box barley fit what it contained with clear tap covering the difference. Don't be alarmed though because everything arrived in good condition. Fairly easy to assemble. Seems durable and made easy work of breaking ground in CRT (counter tine rotation) mode. I like it alot. I think it will give me a great garden this year and going forward. ... show more

  • MUCH happier with this than my old Troy Built which was a beast and I am older with bad arthritus.
Style: Pioneer RTT (Drop Ship 2-boxes)
Overall, -very- happy with this. The assembly instructions were good and I was using it within an hour of receiving it. It cut through 1/2" roots easily and was able to cut 3/4" roots but stalled a few times but started again with the first pull. The REVERSE feature is really great and makes it very easy to use. One issue is I had a mass of roots around the tines (which is typical of rototillers in my experience) and when I cut them off it seemed some were under the housing of the tines so I took the tines off and found some very tough roots. Pictures attached. I removed them but am curious whether I need to worry about removing them. Thoughts? ... show more

  • Did not work for me
Style: Pioneer RTT (Drop Ship 2-boxes)
The media could not be loaded. I found the rototiller transmission broke quickly on two units I owned. I actually loved many features of the tiller which I'll share, but the transmission broke quickly. What I liked: I was initially worried about the airless tires (they looked like plastic in the pictures), but after it arrived, I loved the rugged rubber tires that I didn't have to put air in. I loved the quick reverse feature on the tiller that was simply to pull back on the lever and it backs up. I loved the ability to switch between neutral, drive only, counter rotating, and forward rotating. I was initially worried about the engine size as it was so much smaller than competitive tillers, but the engine size was just fine. The gas tank is sufficient, but quite small and ran for about 1.5 hours until empty if I remember right. I also liked the 5 year warranty promised. It wasn't too wide, and dug deep enough for a garden. It arrived quickly in 2 days and it was also easy enough to put together (wheels and handlebars are all that is needed). Be sure to read the short instructions for a few tricks that will save you time before yanking everything out of the box. I truly am disappointed it didn't work out for me. What I didn't like: One week after getting the tiller in end Feb, I wanted to use the tiller to put in a garden. The garden spot was an area of my yard. The ground was soft enough to easily dig by hand and there are no rocks in my dirt. I used the tiller in counter rotating mode (CST). The first tiller (I went through two) lasted for only 10 feet of tilling before making the noise you hear in the video and the rear tines quit moving. I had barely scratched the grass for about 2 minutes when it failed. I've attached pictures of how far it went. I know things happen with products so I called the support line. The tiller is not returnable through Amazon (which I didn't notice until later). They insisted this was a slipping belt, so I tightened the belt for them to show it didn't make a difference. The closest repair shop for me was a one hour drive away. I took it to the repair shop where they stripped it down, worked with the factory, put it back together and it still didn't work. After 3 weeks they authorized replacement with a brand new one as they couldn't figure out what was wrong. The new tiller had to be shipped to the shop rather than to me. So two more hours driving and I had a new tiller. The new 2nd tiller worked for 3 hours in the same ground when it failed as well. I was able to till my entire garden area, but I wasn't able to finish the job to the depth I wanted. The final video is the 2nd tiller that failed and the ground it tilled before breaking. Both tillers still worked in forward tine rotation mode, but I needed the counter rotation mode for breaking up the soil. The company did agree to refund money if I would return the tiller back to the same repair shop. So end result is I have spend 6 hours of driving to and from the repair shop, spent two months dealing with it, and got two tillers to do 3 hours of work. I hope they figure out the issue in the future. When it worked, it worked fine. It just didn't work for long. If they figure it out and fix the problem I think I'd be an advocate for the tiller, but it didn't work out for me. ... show more
