Product Description

Get to the fun part of gardening faster and easier than you ever dreamed possible! Easy to start, quiet and with no fuel mixing required, the Mantis 4-cycle Plus Tiller weighs only 24 pounds. It's one of the lightest small tillers you can buy. Featuring a premium 4-cycle engine powered by Honda, this lightweight powerhouse is tough enough to till through sod and compacted dirt, but is easy to carry, easy to start and easy to use. Forget old-time tillers - this work-saver has soft, sure-grip handles that are ergonomically flared for fatigue-free operation. Infinite speed means you can power your tiller up when you need to, or work more gently if the situation requires. Digging by hand or renting a giant, hard-to-handle behemoth tiller is no fun! Live your Dream Garden! The Mantis Tiller takes on heavyweight projects like busting established sod and compacted dirt or digging a planting hole with ease. The unique, curvy tines (blades) can till a full 10 inches deep. Then with a simple flip of the tines, you can precision-weed around delicate plants and seedlings! This is a gardening tool you'll use all season long! Don't hold back! Put this tiller through most any challenge! The Mantis Tiller is the tool you've been waiting for - the missing link to the greenhouse quality soil every successful garden needs. Convenient, Versatile, and Durable the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator features folding handle bars which make it convenient to store in a garage or tool shed. An innovative transmission design is what allows such a lightweight tool to provide heavyweight performance. Plus every tiller that comes out of our Southampton, PA facility is built with the lifetime service of the user in mind. Get the garden of your dreams. You can do it!

Powerful for small tiller

Powerful for small tiller
I used the tiller on my vegetable garden, and was very happy with its performance. I tested the tiller in an old bed of raspberries in which I wanted to make open isles. The tiller was able to go through the raspberries, and the picture shows the roots that it dug up without the motor dying. Impressive performance.
