Our verdict

A rear tine tiller with counter rotating tines for breaking new ground and compacted clay, with reverse that turns easily near fences. It is heavy, so plan how to move it to the garden.

Overview

Not a light front tine cultivator, the Earthquake Victory is a rear tine tiller whose counter rotating tines dig against the wheels to break hard ground. A cast iron transmission with bronze gears drives it, and pneumatic wheels pull it forward.

Breaking new ground is why to buy it, since counter rotating tines bite into clay that skips a lighter tiller. Its weight and size make it a big machine for a small raised bed, and the box contents are not listed.

Who it's for

Homeowners opening new garden plots or turning heavy soil will get the most from the tines. Small bed gardeners need a light cultivator instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Counter rotating tines break hard soil
  • Reverse handle, no gear shifting
  • Adjustable handlebar for any height
  • One handed control option
Cons
  • Heavy to move
  • Box contents not listed
  • Gas engine needs fuel and oil care

Performance notes

Counter rotating tines spin against the wheel direction, so they dig in rather than pulling the tiller forward, which breaks tough soil. The drag stake sets depth and adds resistance to control speed. Free wheeling the drive with the pin makes moving it easier.
