The Earthquake Walk Behind String Mower, powered by a 160cc 4-Cycle Viper engine, is the perfect all-terrain tool for making short work of your trimming and brush clearing tasks. In contrast to push mowers or hand-held trimmers, the Earthquake String Mower is designed to help you go where mowers can’t while eliminating the back strain associated with carrying heavy equipment all around the yard. Built-tough features like a one-piece steel deck and heavy-duty nylon line ensure continuous results and make the experience of slicing through weeds and dense foliage quick, easy, and satisfying. In addition to being tough, this unit is also convenient, utilizing large diameter, extra wide wheels to keep you coasting around your property over uneven terrain and through thick grass and weeds. An integrated clutch and hand bail system safely keeps the String Mower motor running, but disengages and stops the trimmer head if you need to clear debris, eliminating the need to re-start your motor each time. When the job is complete, you simply wheel the unit back to the garage and fold down the handlebars for easier storage. Backed by a 5-year product warranty, US-based customer service, this product is built to perform.

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 have owned or used Cub Cadet, DR, and Toro and the Earthquake beats them all hands down. From the power to the simplicity of startup, storage, and string changes alone makes it better. Love how the spindle is greasable and it is very easy to order any parts from Ardemis.It cuts the thickest grass and weeds with ease. Love the large wheels as well. Have owned it for several years without any issues.

Used it for 2 hours one day. 4 hours on another day when it was cold out. 1.5 hours 3d day in wet weather and it literally caught fire. Why? It is totalled. It was a bon fire and we freaked out that the gas would blow it. Threw soil on it to extinguish the flames. Now what?Edit: Jan 31-2025. The company sent me a replacement machine and are investigating this one for root causing the fire.Changing review to 4 star for now... Will update on any issues after using this for some time.

Purchased to maintain 3 acres of land that needed professional brush hogging. It definitely has its limitations when it comes to tough stalks. It will not take down 1/4" bramble stalks and breaks the line, but it chews through Cogun grass effectively. Have used it weekly for 6 hour runs. Only needed to add oil once. It is a bit difficult to add oil because of the tire, so I use a pump action oiler instead of a small funnel. Always starts right up on first pull. Use non ethanol gasoline.

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.

This machine can go through blackberry bushes, golden rod etc. I cut a large patch of weeds/bushes that were over 4 ft. tall with no problem. It starts first time every time. Worth the price!
