Earthquake introduces a new gear drive for its earth augers. This new gearbox reduced the amount of maintenance compared with other chain driven transmissions.
As the Earthquake brand gained popularity, the factory gained floorspace. Implementing time saving metal fabricating devices, painting booths, testing facilities, and shipping areas, Earthquake became better able to serve the growing demand for its products.
1987 1987 First Earthquake Rototiller Earthquake continued with more ground -breaking ideas by beginning their line of rototillers. The rear tine tiller machines included a drag stake to ensure optimum digging levels while easily tilling through even the toughest soil.
ratES 50 yEARS er equipment 1996 1999 2005 1999 Earthquake Introduces Its Gear-Driven Front Tine Rototiller Its multiple innovations made the tiller far superior to similarly priced front tine rototillers.
1996 Earthquake Expands Lawn and Garden Products
2005 Viper Engine Brand is Introduced 2010 marks the five-year anniversary of our successful Viper engine line.
Earthquake added chipper/ shredders to its lawn and garden line for help with those tough outdoor tasks.
2010 2010 Innovation For the 21st Century Earthquake continues to offer an ever-expanding line-up of outdoor power equipment for home owners and professionals. In recent years, products like the smooth-operating MC43 Mini Cultivator and the powerful Badger Tiller have helped Earthquake grow. Earthquake's latest product introductions include a range of petrol powered log splitters with innovative dual position system, and the all new 6014V rear tine cultivator, powered by a Viper or Briggs&Stratton engine.
