## 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!

Review: The Mantis tiller with the Honda engine is just the right size for my hoop house. Honda engines are so reliable and I have several on other equipment. It is lightweight which is good because I am an 80 year old female senior. It is very powerful and compact and tills great. I only have to have it powered up a little for it to do a great job. I assembled it just fine except they had given me American nuts for 2 Metric bolts. I had a hard time putting the nuts on but soon discovered why and was able to purchase a couple Metric bolts with Metric nuts. Everything went on according to the directions. I emailed Mantis about that problem and they responded immediately telling me they would send the hardware but I had already purchased the correct hardware so didn't need it. Great customer relations.
Review: There's no comparison when it comes to Mantis! I'm a professional landscaper and can say, without a doubt, that this is the best tiller/cultivator you will ever use. My first one lasted 7 years of constant use, unfortunately I managed to destroy it by using gas with ethanol! Do not make this mistake! Make sure you buy manufactured fuel! Don't let the size of the tiller fool you, it has more power than any of the large ones I have ever tried. With the added bonus of being easy to transport to different locations and this thing never fails to start within the first two pulls.

*by T***M on 11 June 2017*

I bought the 2 cycle version of this tiller some 18 years ago - was the best smallest and deepest tiller on the market and was extremely pleased with it. I hadn't had much use for it since moving, so sat in the garage for 13 years unused until last year when I tried to start it again - obviously after all that time it needed some repairs and did remind me of it's particular starting method (choke, pull until it fires, choke off, 2 pulls and starts). However, after 13 years of disuse, it just wasn't working the same, so needed to replace it. Doing some more research, this is still the best option on the market for a small tiller that will till deeply. When I saw Mantis offered a 4-cycle engine (no more 50:1 oil mixing) using a Honda engine (regarded as one of the best small equipment engine manufacturers you can get), I decided to get the upgraded version of this tiller. Package showed up via UPS within a week of ordering it - faster than the expected delivery time they originally advertised. Didn't take too long to assemble it (attach handles and kickstand, really). Used it yesterday for the first time and works like my original did 18 years ago, if not even better with the 4-cycle engine. Very pleased with it. If tilling in heavy weeds, you will have to stop from time to time to clear the weeds that get wrapped around the shaft, but is relatively easy just by taking off the tines and cleaning it out. One concerning item is that it was tagged with a warning on the engine to avoid gas with ethanol, which is not an easy task since most places in Canada have now mandated 10% ethanol in gas...and many companies also use it as an octane booster. Issue with ethanol is that on some engine components (some plastics), it dissolves and picks up traces of the plastic molecule and when burnt, will gum up the carb and other systems over time. One upgrade might be a metal fuel tank as is likely the greatest exposure and don't see people draining the tank between uses. Overall though, very pleased with it...
