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.

I was concerned at first when I assembled this tiller. First of all, I have to praise the freight delivery. They carefully placed this 145 lb box on my front porch IAW my Amazon delivery instructions. I experienced considerable difficulty trying to assemble the unit. It took almost 4 hours, only because the screws wouldn't line up. But with my wife's help, everything went smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised when I engaged the tiller into operations. I have had two large garden tillers before this one over 50 years of use. This earthquake started with only one pull. I was a bit surprised that the unit manual was missing and all I had was a single page with hard to read instructions. Although I had many questions, I kept going. I contacted the customer service and they immediately got me a manual and answered every question that I had. I was impressed how smoothly the transmission engaged. My only concern was the difficulty to change from neutral to drive to SRT/CRT. The shift bar kept getting locked and would not move. I worked thru it. The tiller seems to be well balenced. I spent 3-hours putting it thru functioned tests. Overall, this tiller works great, great price, and handles easily for this old man. Thank you.

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.

Heavy and a little Awkward, but works great. You must know how to operate a big tiller. If you manhandle it, or try to force it, you'll be sorry. Of course, if it gets away from you, it will stop. But you don't want it to get away from you. This beast will cause damage quickly to property, fencing, or worse, if not operated properly, Any of you old dogs, like me, and younger ones that respect this tiller, know it is a balancing act. This tiller is a good buy, if you use your head.

This attachment is amazing. The pioneer earthquake tiller is good by itself, but when I put this attachment on, it made a world of difference. You can adjust the furrower wings to raise the side mound or lower flatter side mound. You will not be disappointed with this item, I love mine and it does an amazing job. Its well made and can handle the job.

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.

This tiller is a little monster! These pics are the first tilling this year. Partly re-tilled from last year and partly not tilled before, unless you count 20 years ago, which doesn't count. ;) I'm 67 this year, so I can say I've had many tillers over the years. My favorite was an old Sears 8 horse front tine we got from the proceeds of our truck gardens back in the 60's. Dad kept it and gave it to me somewhere in the 90's. I finally retired it somewhere in the late two thousands. The darn thing lasted almost fifty years! BUT, back to the little monster... I know "bug dust" is probably an Indiana Hoosier phrase, but it refers to how fine the dirt is after tilling it. I usually have to till this Indiana clay soil three or four times to work in the all the seeds, and whatever organic medium I decide to till into it. This year it will only take twice unless I decide to get ridiculous... which I may. I have two more garden plots to till. If you garden, and are interested in my ramblings, these are three different amounts of sunshine per day. I'm kind of in a rush to get the early seedlings out. oops, I do need to add; In the previously tilled soil you don't have to wrestle it much, but you do when sod busting, but not a lot. Much easier than my old 8 horse Sears tiller, which I named "Tiller the Hun."

The tiller was very easy to assemble. It was delivered as stated, but was received with a broken gas cap. I called the company and the representative was informative and pleasant, he recorded my warranty and immediately shipped a new fuel cap. The tiller worked as advertised, the reverse gear is an absolute necessity for a 75 year old. At times it was dug in an unstable, but it was expected, as I am familiar with past tiller use, again the reverse gear made it easy. the only surprise I had was when I began a second till and placed the machine in SRT gear (wheels and tines in same direction). When I engaged it, the machine took off, pulling me to the ground. So, use caution by lowering the throttle before running SRT. Overall, I reccomend this product.
