Editorial Review:
An incredibly lightweight tiller that has made gardening easier for millions, the Mantis Tiller was originally designed to help professional landscapers get their jobs done more quickly. The unit's durable, 20-pound tiller is a favorite of home gardeners all over the world. A reliable, easy-to-start engine features a true commercial-grade design with pushbutton priming for quick, easy starts, time after time. Equipped with a throttle-activated centrifugal clutch, the tines engage only when the throttle is squeezed, for more control and no threat of the runaway tiller. The unit's compact design makes it easy to till in tight quarters, flush with garage walls, inside raised garden beds, and snugly into sharp corners. And, at just 20 pounds, the Mantis weighs less than other tillers with no sacrifice in power. A 10-inch tilling depth means deeper working soil for healthier gardens. With the tiller revolving at 240 rpm, the tines make fast work of many gardening chores, easily cultivating or weeding a 30-by-40-foot garden in 20 minutes. Best of all, a patented, reversible serpentine pattern helps the Mantis dig deep into even the hardest soil, instead of bouncing around with no effect as inferior models do. Mantis covers the tines with a lifetime guarantee. Brian D. Olson

I missed the spring tilling season-a big blow to me. The repair lasted a couple of weeks. I brought it back to the repair shop and was told it would need a... more info
Great Little Tiller This machine is lightweight and easy to use. We bought the electric model because I don't want another gas engine around to maintain. This one seems to have all the power we need for garden tilling and we've been very happy with it.
Best Tiller For Small Areas This tiller was the best purchase ever. Small areas, flower beds, small gardens, edger--perfect...you will not be disappointed. Easy to assemble and disassemble for winter storage. Would definitely recommend.
One Terrific Tiller! For small around the house/yard plantings (shrubs, small trees, flowers) & for edging around trees, shrubs, & beds this tiller is about as handy as they come. It is lightweight, easy to use, & reliable for anyone willing to follow the directions for using it. I recommend it highly!
