Earthquake Walk Behind String Mower with 160cc Viper™ Engine, 45901

It is so easy to setup:1) handle adjustment and tighten hand knobs2) Add oil don’t come with funnel I made one with dried out water bottle3) Uses 85% fuel no more than 10% ETH4) Push little gas prime rubber button to get gas to carburetor5) Pull the start rope6) Pull in safety arm at top of handle just like any mower to engage rotor7) The big wheels make it so easy to steer and use. Just walk behind the power will almost pull you along fence.8) It cut high grass, those thick tough to break weed mini trees along fence and is same height as standard driveway. Just walk and steer, no issue with power, or engjne being over powered by weeds, best dang money I’ve spent in a long time!9) My lazy son late 20s even came out there to see, I put him to work. He was surprised and putting in new string ties is as easy as tying a bow tie in shoe laces. Straight thru to eye holes then crisscross thru center metal loop. Once the torque of rotor starts straightens line right out. Son mowed two yard fences (five full fences and two yard back fence by train tracks. Those nasty stick weed combination. Cuts a two foot path on a pass so riding mower set on three same height and no more pain in rear corners or high fence weeds or riding mowers catch a nail in fence. Fantastic weed eating machine!!!!

This came put together just had to add the oil which it comes with. So easy to use and works so well!! It cut through tall grass with ease. It’s like a mower on steroids!

The media could not be loaded. Out of the box you could tell the earthquake was a solid machine. It was packed very well so no damage even with a cut in the cardboard box. It has some weight on it but I’m 5’6 and can move with no problem. It is manual which leaves you in complete control on where to move it. The handle is adjustable and easy to move. I haven’t had to change the trimmer line but it looks ok and they do give you are extras in the box.Con: the oil tank ugh. It’s was hard to remove the covers and even harder to fill. Not sure how much of the enclosed container to put in I kept stopping and checking then continued on.Overall it’s is a great addition to my lawn needs and I’d recommend for its a great value for the money-no regrets

Great for weeds, tall grass, I wouldn't recommend it for black berries or heavy bamboo though. Runs strong, just don't plan on going on any wild angled hills. But it's worth every penny!

I purchased this as a gift for my adult son, first of all the product shipped with a faulty filter. The company did ship a replacement filter and the machine started and ran well. Upon trying to use the machine to cut overgrowth foilage, the debris wrapped around the spool and the line kept breaking. Contrary to the “alleged” videos posted by “supposed” customers stating the product worked great. That is a LIE! “Then” I attempted to send the Earthquake Walk Behind string weedeater back…….AMAZON referred my to The Manufacturer “Earthquake via Ardisan”. I just spoke to the Ardisan customer service department and they advised that the machine could NOT be returned because it had been “used”!!!! Well…….how ELSE are you suppose to know if the machine is going to WORK as advertised?!?!?!!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!!! This machine does NOT function as advertised (FALSE ADVERTISEMENT) and DO NOT trust the video reviews posted on line “they are OBVIOUSLY posted by bad actors”!!!! The bottom line is THIS EARTHQUAKE WALK BEHIND WEED TRIMMER is at best a $470.00 weedeater and does NOT cut down tall foilage as advertised.UPDATE: Thank goodness for Amazons Customer Service Dept. They fully refunded my money! Kudo’s to Amazon……and SHAME ON Earthquake Products (won’t ever purchase from them again) Lousy Customer Service!

I did a lot of research and decided on this trimmer because of the reviews and the engine size and the price. Set up is literally just fold up the handle and tighten 2 thumb screws then add the oil. I was very happy that the motor oil came with it. Installed the strings and it was ready to go. Mine has a fuel primer bulb and it started on 3rd pull. It cuts really well even in the heavy stuff. Woody stalks up to about 1/2” are no problem. It won’t cut the thicker stuff at the base but you can tilt the trimmer up and cut the branches down. My place was really overgrown because of the summer heat and and I have a sore back. This trimmer cuts the work by 75% of my big double handle Stihl hand held weed whacker. It starts easily even when hot and is very easy push with no back ache when you’re done. I was surprised at how easily it pushes. The big wheels Really make a difference. You will change string often in the heavy stuff and especially around chain link fences but that’s true with any trimmer and at least it’s pretty easy to do. I sort of wish it had an auto feed line dispenser is about the only criticism I have for it. Honestly though, I battle the darn auto feeds on my other trimmers and I was interested in this to see how much trouble it would be to change strings. It is very quick and easy. Be sure to buy extra line because it only comes with a few starter pieces. I bought a big roll and cut my own sections. I think I’m gonna try some steel cable instead of the plastic stuff. I have 3 good quality Stihl trimmers of different sizes and this wIll replace them as my first go to tool. Wish I had bought this years ago instead of my big Stihl trimmer except I can run a metal blade with my hand held to knock down the really bad stuff. This machine reduces how much I have to cut with hand held tremendously so it’s a good combo for me. I have 70 acres in north east Texas and this is a real time saver and back saver for me. Excellent bang for the buck.
