Q: Does the earthquake, Model 3365B have reverse? by Wayne from South Carolina on May 31, 2011
A: Wayne - the Earthquake 3365 tillers do not have a "powered" drive system at all. These tillers are "push" style tillers. The 3365 tillers have a Drive Control Lever. Pulling down on the drive safety control lever engages the tines. Releasing the drive safety control lever disengages the tines to a neutral position. So you can pull this tiller in a reverse direction when the tines are in neutral, but there is not a powered reverse feature on the 3365 tillers. by Bob, Product Expert
Q: Why do you reccommend the Earthquake 3365B tiller over the 3365PS model? Thenk you Ellen by Ellen from North Carolina on May 01, 2011
A: Ellen - the only significant difference in these two models is the design of the handle. The 3365B has a tubular handle, which is my personal preference. I think it helps make the handle easier to grip. The 3365PS has a "bicycle" style handle. by Bob, Product Expert
The Earthquake 3365PS front tine garden tiller is ideal for existing garden and flower beds or new patches of loose or soft soil that you want to turn into your own little farm or nursery. You’ll be able to get around tight corners and maneuver through narrow rows in your garden with ease.
The Earthquake 3365PS front tine garden tiller features a powerful Briggs and Stratton engine, with tilling power similar to a larger rear tine rototiller. You will also appreciate the longer wheel base and the drag stake, which give this machine great stability when in use. The taller 11-inch wheels also add to the greater maneuverability.
The Earthquake 3365PS adjusts easily from 11-inch to 16-inch to 21-inch tilling widths. The belt engagement clutch gives you the ability to stop tines without stopping or even slowing engine.
The ergonomically designed handle bars give the Earthquake 3365PS more comfortable handling, and the handle bars also fold down for more compact storage.
Top of the line features and powerful performance make the Earthquake 3365PS front tine garden tiller a great choice for someone who is looking to maintain a garden or flower bed that is 500 sq. feet or less in size.

Great Front Tine Tiller
This is my first tiller purchase. My dad had a Troy-Bilt rear tine unit (Big Red style) and it was a beast. I didn't take much interest in gardening for about 40 years and now I'm having to learn from scratch. I regret not paying attention to my father (passed away) who had so much insight and knowledge in making a great garden...but that's my loss.
Anyway - the Earthquake 3365PS is amazing!! I pulled it out of the box, filled the crankcase with the included oil - filled the gas tank and believe it or not - it fired up on the first pull. It starts like that every time I re-start it. Fantastic motor..
It did jump a bit when I first started the row - but I was cutting thru yard grass so that's to be expected. I just made a pass - raked out the grass and made another pass. After about 3 or 4 runs - I was chopping up dirt. Once it was just dirt - the unit was easy to guide and handle. It'll cut down to about 11" or so which was plenty for me.
Pros:
Easy start, powerful enough for a small or average garden, quick foot operation to free-wheel it, easy to clean, fun to run..
Cons:
None yet..
In closing - If you want a big garden I would go with the Troy-Bilt forward rotating tines. But if your like me - two rows 30' long, this is the machine for you..
Love it!!

We were using a front tine tiller before buying this one and this one is an improvement over the old one, really enjoying it.

This tiller is a beast
I ordered this tiller from Florida on Monday and was able to pick it up from the freight hub on Friday. Super fast shipping! I used this tiller over two full days planting 4 decent sized food plots on my hunting property. This tiller ate through everything in its path including some areas that we couldn't get the bush hog to first.
The gear drive is strong and churned without bogging down at all. I did have to stop periodically to remove a build up of roots and grasses from the tines, but that is to be expected with the type of ground I was covering. The tines are beefy and strong, and the plate holding the wheels is made of thick steel. After uncrating, and adding gas and the included oil, it fired on the first pull. Needless to say, I am impressed with this tiller and with the service I received from Tillers Direct.
