I purchased one! Then, after great performance, I purchased the Earthquake Rototiller with the reverse wheel lever; making easy to back-up. Therefore, I am extremely happy with these purchases. Both machines work as I expected. Now, I would like to find a machine like the former “Yazoo” blade (brush-hog) mower! Oh! And these Chinese made engines have proven to be as good as “USA” Briggs & Stratton engines; which are now made in China. Zoom, Zoom y’all ! 😊
The only issue I've had with the engine is the carburetor float being gummed up with crap fuel and, basically dumping fuel into the oil. Pretty easy fix. Just drain the oil and run it. The float will clear itself. Currently looking for a new belt. Gonna go to an auto parts store, so I can have a part number that people can get anywhere
Toro, sold by Amazon, has a Briggs engine and is about the same price. Rural King, Lowes, Tractor Supply and Troy Built all have string trimmers. I did videos on this trimmer @ T wagner UA-cam with the Viper engine.
i had a problem with the wheel bearings but got 10 of them at amazon for $12 which work well.. great machine, i have about 180 hours on mine as i do hiking trails with it.......mine has the viper engine... starts all the time... love it.....
It's kinda hard to gauge the square footage by what I have done. I can tell you it lasts longer than the stuff that came with the mower. There's another section that needs to be done and it will be easier to measure. I might put up a short video about it. If I do, I'll put a link to it in this comment section
I recently purchased an Earthquake string mower off Amazon which is a different model than yours. Mine has the Viper engine. Your review was excellent. I have seen a few other UA-cam videos for these string mowers but yours was definitely the best, outside of the music in the background but oh well. Thanks for showing how to string the new nylon. I know it shows in the manual but I am more of a Have to watch it being done kinda guy. Once again, thanks for your video. I'm glad I found it.

It's been a while
Can’t start the darned thing, even with switch in “on” position.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully the company took care of you
WTH, with the rap music…etc…sheesh. Music is annoying. Doesn’t help your review of the machine.
