## Description

This cultivator can weed, mix in fertilizer, and mulch or aerate soil. It is designed to work through all types of pre-tilled earth. Its small size and light weight not only make it easy to transport, but it is also very maneuverable around delicate plants.

Review: absolutely worth the money - Starts very easily, runs with good power for tilling, blades work very well, the retainer clips are strong and don't pop off while using, the blades come off easily for taking out twisted on roots, and washing off dirt , then a spritz of wd-40 to keep rust off in storage between uses. The tiller is very thifty on fuel and can use for well over an hour on 1 fill. I was surprised at how quiet it is compare to my old tiller and much quiter than push mower. The only issue i found with tiller is the wheels are too close together and tips over constantly if you try rolling around like from garden to garage. so i end up carrying it back and forth and a little annoying
Review: works great !! - It was easy to put together all bold and fitting went on tight, been using it for awhile now. i had to put a new carb on it, but they sent me another one for free and was easily put on. rememebr to prim 6 or 7 times and use a full tank of gas, the first time. i didnt realise the seal was on the inside of the cap, might have messed up the prime button. but a very good product. i had my other one for 6 years customer service said! i ended up using it so much in my garden that it burn the piston ring off....

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Was this cultivator difficult to assemble?**
A: No... Not Difficult At All....

**Q: Need carburetor for 4 cycle earthquake tiller model 12802 mc440?**
A: Small engines are mearly all generic.  Look closely for the model of the carbureator or the make and do a search online, Amazon, is a great source or check with Jack's small engines, another excellent source.  Never use ethanol gasoline in your engine or at least shut off the gas valve and run the engine dry each time.  Find a carb with the right hole spacings and for a 40cc engine.

**Q: Does this tiller come with oil, or do I have to order it separately?**
A: It comes with a very small container of oil. You’ll need to buy more later

**Q: what is the horsepower?**
A: This machine is not measured in horsepower, rather it is a 40cc engine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn't work properly out of the box but Ardisam made it right.
*by J***J on August 21, 2024*

It looked tiny when I first opened the box but it turned out the be the perfect size to get around in our flower beds and light enough to carry around. It ran much slower than expected but it got the job done. One time while tilling, it suddenly stopped and I couldn’t get it going again. Worked with tech support who ultimately had me take it to an authorized repair shop. Although it only had about 10 hours of run time, they cleaned the carburetor (apparently the spray carb cleaner I tried didn’t work) and it now runs at a MUCH faster RPM and sounds better. They thought it might have been sitting in a box for a long time before I bought it so things might have gotten gunked up. Although the place I took it to was an authorized repair shop, they didn’t work through the warranty process and charged me. I contacted Ardisam who was very helpful and is in the process of reimbursing me. The cultivator turned out to be a fantastic way to dig a small trench for low voltage wiring - I just took off 3 of the 4 tines. I’d like to suggest larger, clearer labeling of Choke/Run, On/Off which is tiny black lettering imprinted on the black plastic. Obviously it vibrates a lot so I lost a screw to the handle but I happened to have one that fit so I recommend using Loctite on handle screws. Overall I’m very pleased with our purchase.
