The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator is the lightweight tiller that has totally changed the way over a million people till their gardens. It was originally designed for landscapers, but the Mantis Tiller quickly became the American homeowner’s favorite tiller, and has remained that way for over 30 years. It is now a standard piece of equipment for gardeners across the country.
Even though Mantis Tillers are lightweight, they are still powerful enough to break up compacted soil and sod . They feature serpentine tines that turn your dirt into a finely textured soil that is ready for planting. The tines are so strong that the company will guarantee them against breakage for life. These lightweight tillers are easy to carry and easy to use, even if you don’t have the “muscles” needed for a traditional tiller.
All of Mantis’ Tillers come with a 5 year warranty, plus a risk-free one year trial. How many companies believe in their products enough to match that?
Plus, now you can get free shipping, too. But how do you decide which model is right for you? The following is a comparison that will help you pick the right model.
The 2-Cycle Mantis Tiller is the lightest model they sell, weighing in at only 20 pounds. It has a 2 cycle, 21.2 cc engine that uses a gas and oil mixture in the tank. The throttle is variable speed and the tines can spin at up to 240 rpm. Its width is 9 inche and the maximum tilling depth is 10 inches. It has a push button priming system for easy starting. With the throttle-activated centrifugal clutch, the tines will only engage when you squeeze the throttle.
Next in weight is the Mantis Electric Tiller at 21 pounds. Its tines also spin at up to 240 rpm and reach a maximum depth of 10 inches. With a 3/4 hp, 115v, 3 speed electric motor and push button starting, this is the easiest tiller to start and the quietest to operate. Just plug it in, turn it on, pick your speed and squeeze the throttle. At 9 inches wide, it is narrow enough to maintain the areas along fences, between rows and even in raised bed gardens.
The 4-Cycle Mantis Tiller is the most popular model, weighing only 24 pounds. Like the others, it is 9 inches wide and will till to a depth of 10 inches. With the 4-cycle Honda engine, you don’t have to pre-mix the gas and oil. This model has a one piece, cast gear box that is almost indestructible. A carrying handle makes transportation a breeze and there is both a variable speed control and a quick shut off button right at your fingertips.
The Mantis XP 16″ Tiller is the widest and heaviest model they offer. It weighs 30 pounds, is 16 inches wide and will till down to 10″ deep. This model also has the 4-cycle Honda engine, a one piece cast gear box, and a carrying handle, along with recoil starting, a variable speed throttle and tines that spin up to 240 rpm. This is the one to choose for larger jobs, as its wider frame will cover more ground quickly.
Whichever model is right for your garden, you simply cannot go wrong with a Mantis Tiller Cultivator. Who else guarantees their tines for life, lets you try it free for one year, AND gives you a 5 year warranty? Mantis stands behind their products because they know they will last.
