Earthquake Walk-Behind String Mower, Hurricane Cutting Head, 160cc 4-Cycle Viper Engine, Grab-N-Go Bail, 22" Cutting Diameter, Extra-Wide 2.5" x 14.5" Airless Wheels, Adjustable Handlebar, 47325

What It Is

This is the complete Earthquake model 47325 walk-behind string mower, featuring a 160cc 4-cycle Viper engine, hurricane-style cutting head, and 22-inch cutting diameter. It’s designed for heavy-duty weed trimming and brush clearing on large properties, not for standard lawn mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Deck size: This is a self-contained unit—no deck. The 22" cutting diameter is the swath, not a mower deck.
• Engine: 160cc Viper 4-cycle (gas, no oil mix). Ensure you have fuel and oil.
• Wheels: 2.5" x 14.5" airless wheels are specific to this model; not interchangeable with standard mower wheels.
• Handlebar: Adjustable, but only fits this model’s frame. No universal fit.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is the complete OEM unit from Earthquake. No aftermarket compatibility concerns.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: Handlebar, wheels, and cutting head need basic assembly (tools included). Expect 30-45 minutes.
• No self-propulsion: You push it. The Grab-N-Go bail is a safety shut-off, not a drive engagement.
• Cutting head: Hurricane-style uses heavy-duty nylon string (not blades). Replace string as needed; check for debris wrap-around.
• Weight: ~45 lbs—manageable but not light. Airless wheels help on rough terrain but don’t expect a smooth ride.
• Common gotcha: The 160cc engine requires regular oil changes and fuel stabilizer. Neglect leads to carburetor issues.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a rugged, dedicated string mower for large lots, ditches, or overgrown areas where a push mower won’t cut it. It’s ideal for heavy weeds and tall grass, but not for manicured lawns. Skip it if you want a standard mower or need self-propulsion.
