absorber goes on first
earth auger drill
and Sam began their metal
fabricating shop known as
Ardisam out of a small
garage located on Main Street
in Cumberland, Wisconsin.
Their vision and ingenuity
yielded working power
equipment. The powered post
hole digger engineered back
then is just as tough, durable
and affordable today as it was
in 1960.
The revolutionary IsoVibe
auger coil absorbs vibration
from rocks and tree roots
that drills commonly
encounter.

1983 Earthquake Employs
New Heavy-Duty Transmision
4
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.

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 MC43E 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 engine.
Earthquake continues to grow.
