Earthquake 28463 Viper M205 150cc 4-Cycle Gasoline Engine

R Yellin: Clears like no one’s business. Made my chores so much faster. Only thing I can say negative is the cutting strings I go through them so fast. I did cut through a LOT of stuff though.

College-Grad: I purchased the earthquake trimmer over a year ago, and have had two summer seasons of going in and cutting tall grass. I live on five acres with a split rail fence that separates my neighbors field and mine. He uses a compact tractor to mow along the fence but can’t get close enough so 18” doesn’t get mowed. With the low deck of the earthquake that cuts at the front, I am easily able to go under the fence and cut the knee high grass. The mower will always start on the first pull, and I ordered the replacement nylon cutting heads and they are so easy to put on compared to a push lawnmower. I had let the grass build up under the deck, and this year bought a lunchbox size power washer off Amazon and now the entire mower and the under carriage look like brand new. I also bought a push mower cover. I didn’t check to see earthquake makes a cover specifically for this model, but would recommend it for storage in the winter. I just used oil change pan and tipped the mower onto the side and let the gas run into the pan, then let the mower run out of gas for the winter. I don’t really have any negative comments about the mower. I did need to run it down to the lawnmower service...

dave groshong: Beastly machine, like about 25 hand held weed eaters, decimated my back 40 with super long grass in no time, very happy with this

ZoSo: 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...

Diane McCutcheon: 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!
