    • The Little Tiller That Can!
Style: Cultivator
I must say I am impressed. Researched many tiller models, some mini and some not-so-mini. Settled on this Mantis after surveying reviews here and elsewhere. What a delightful little machine. The money and time it has saved allowing me to do the project I had paid for itself a couple times over. In spite of its relatively lightweight status (24lbs I think?), it did a surprisingly good job of digging into the heavily compacted dirt and clay in my yard. Doubly so because of roots I asked it to go through, leftover from the four trees we cut down. I do have a few recommendations for getting the most out of it: (1) Make liberal use of the ability to easily reverse the blades back and forth from “cultivating mode” into “tilling mode.” The cultivator mode made a HUGE difference in being able to cut through tree and plant roots without tangling and/or jamming every few seconds. Once the roots and plants are well dealt with, a quick return to the more aggressive tiller mode churns more deeply in very short order. NOTE: this also reduces the amount of bouncing that seemed to irritate some other reviewers. And me. :-) (2) Take your time and let it do its thing. Some want to make a single quick pass and then wonder why it only takes off an inch or so of the hard compacted top layer. Remember that it is, after all, a MINI tiller. Give it a moment, pull it back and forth a few feet to remove some of the dirt pile that builds up under the tines, and it will settle in for the deeper churn right quickly. (3) Get the kickstand. It’s too convenient to skip. (4) I think the real value of this machine (for me, anyhow) lies in its ability to do double-duty. Or quadruple duty, I guess. Treat yourself to the attachments. The power rake, edger, and aerator attachments are fantastically effective additions that really round out the Mantis’s capacity and utility in the yard, turning it into a true year-around workhorse. The attachments have been utterly worth the added expense, and switching between them is an easy and quick affair. My review was not solicited. I am submitting this review only because I am so tickled with it’s performance. The only criticism I can offer so far regards the less than perfect directions for assembly. Some of the nuts did not match what was described or displayed in the directions, and the wording was not entirely intuitive in every instance. Having said that, a little looking at what I had in the box made it clear enough what was needed, and it worked out just fine. The only caution I would have for potential purchasers is the size. This isn’t a critique of the unit itself so much as a cautionary comment to make sure it is what you want. It does a fantastic job for a mini tiller. But it is a mini tiller. My house sits on just shy of 1/3-acre and it takes a long time to work my entire lawn in any mode. If I had more storage room, I’d be wanting their larger model. Especially if my plan were to till the entire yard. Having said that, it does a fantastic job. I am highly impressed that such a small unit can do so much and do it effectively. The amount of time, effort, and money this Mantis has saved me has made me a huge fan. Far better machine than some of the other tillers I have used in the past and I couldn’t be more tickled with my purchase! ... show more

First impressions. I've had a 2 cycle Mantis tiller for over 20 years .Mantis are great, light, easy to maneuver. Got tired of pulling the starter rope on a hard to start 2 cycle. My 46 year old Troy-Bilt 6hp still starts on a couple pulls. Anyway, I purchased a 4 cycle Mantis. I'd rather change oil than mix gas. Assembly is pretty easy, easier if you watch a quick Youtube. Hooked up the throttle cable to the carb [factory missed that for some reason}, installed oil and gas, primed, chocked, and pulled the starter rope easily and the Honda engine came to life and idled nicely. Used it to cultivate and it worked like a champ. Honestly I think my old Mantis maybe cultivated a bit better, but the tines are a bit different so it probably will till better. Haven't tested, but Mantis claims 10 inch depth. We'll see. Plus the ground was pretty hard from recent heavy rains. Other improvements like redesigned handle bars with soft grips and throttle with good on-off switch are nice, as is the 4 cycle Honda engine which runs smooth. All in all a nice, light tiller for light cultivating and small bed tilling is going to be easier and less hassle with this new Mantis. Plus I've still got a big 6HP for the big double row tilling. Edit 6-24-24: After using several times, I'm really impressed with how easy to start the Honda engine is. Prime, choke and typically one EASY pull of the rope and it starts. It's quieter that a 2-cycle too. I do find the 4-cycle to be a little heavier than my old Mantis and maybe a tad bit harder to maneuver, maybe due to being taller off the ground, but with all the other improvements well worth it and a pleasure to cultivate all those pesky weeds that pop up in the garden in the summer. ... show more

    • Impressive!
Style: Cultivator
I rented one before I bought and that was all I needed to make my decision. Great size, folds up compact, reliable Honda engine, and plenty of power. I bought to start and maintain a 16x32’ garden plot. Admittedly I used the rental to break ground- grass and all. Rather than using pure torque and weight, this relies on super sharp blades and speed to get the job done. It’ll dig in a hurry. Make no mistake though. It may be small and cute, but it’s a workout if you’re using it to do any real task. Buying it for your aging parents (or self) might be counterproductive. Hitting any kind of solid obstacle (large roots, rocks, edging) will cause the machine to jump up more than you’d expect. It can be quite the handful. I didn’t want a big bulky piece of equipment taking up lots of space for something that would be used a few times per year. Despite likley being undersized for my application, it’s comfortable to use and fits the bill nicely. ... show more
