Earthquake Celebrat of OUtdoor power 1960 1966 1970 1970 Ardisam Constructs New Headquarters

1960 Ardisam opens for business with the Ardis Quick Digger Art, Dick 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.

1966 IsoVibe shock absorber goes on first earth auger drill The revolutionary IsoVibe auger coil absorbs vibration from rocks and tree roots that drills commonly encounter.

ISO-VIBE The original tried FLEX COIL and tested flex coil design is still used today on our powered earth drills!

1983 1983 Earthquake Employs New Heavy-Duty Transmision

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 power 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.

Earthquake continues to grow.

We invite you to grow along with us.
