Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator


Imagine what it would be like to use an old push mower on your grass once a week. What would life be like without leaf blowers, power washers, weed whackers, power saws, drills and all the other tools that make our lives so much easier? Sure, you could be a “man’s man” and dig up all that hard ground by the sweat of your brow; but aren’t there so many other things you’d rather do with your time — things you enjoy? The Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator is a highly lauded garden power tool that saves your body from the aches, pains and strains associated with yard work. There are many reasons to choose this versatile tool.

Don’t let the lightweight Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator fool you. While it’s 9-inch wide mouth is petite enough to do edging work between rows and alongside fences, once you pull the throttle-activated clutch, the powerful patented tines begin digging down 10 inches into the dirt, sod, solid clay and hard ground at 240 RPM. According to the manufacturer, you can effectively cultivate, weed and till a 30 x 40 foot garden in just 20 minutes. The versatile attachments include a plow, planter/furrower, border edger, aerator, hedge trimmer and lawn dethatcher. With the company’s one-year “no questions asked” money-back guarantee, the 5 year warranty and the lifetime guarantee against tine breakage, the user can feel good about this purchase.

“It really packs a punch,” one consumer writes about the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator. One petite woman admits, “I can’t control a big tiller but I like to do my own yard projects. The Mantis tiller helps me do just that.” A quality-conscious gardener reports, “It’s a real working machine and very easy to use even with my shoulder problems.” Another individual shares the tiller with two other families and has no trouble transporting this lightweight machine around. A gardener at the Associated Content website says the tiller works especially good at turning up compost. Amazon reviewers call the Mantis “a weed-eater on steroids,” “a little giant” and “a raging bargain.” Numerous customers said that when they finally killed the tine (after more than 20 years of consistent use, mind you), the people at Mantis made good on their “no questions asked” warranty and replaced it.

Even though the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator is easy to use, there are a few points to consider before buying. First, these types of lightweight tillers are not intended for heavy-duty jobs like breaking up untilled ground. Instead, they are for re-tilling your garden at the start or end of the planting season. Secondly, you should always exercise caution when using powerful machinery like this so you don’t lose a toe! Gloves are practical for reducing the chance of blisters. Thirdly, try to avoid tangled vines and large rocks at all costs so you do not damage your tiller. Lastly, you’ll need to do some routine maintenance like sharpening the tines and properly storing it for the winter.
