4 cycle mantis
Best tiller I have ever owned. Very light and very powerful. Starts on first pull. Very easy to use. I would recommend this tiller to anyone with a vegtable garden or flower garden. Rating:

Hmmmm
Well it never worked for me at all to rate all its features.
I wanted to clear the 'weed garden' leading to the water in our backyard this winter. The idea was to till the land and seed grass. I read reviews and reviews on the internet about how great this product is. So I went the extra mile and paid hundred dollars more for the 4-cycle.
Setup took me about couple of hours. Don't miss watching the DVD; this will save you more time than you can think. The hardest part of the assembly was bolting the stand to the handle as the access becomes limited once you have the gas tank and main body mounted.
I bought gas and filled the tank. As easily demonstrated in the video, I pulled the starter 3 times after priming. The engine wouldn't start. I tried again several times that same day after giving some gaps. There wasn't the 'purr' of the motor I liked to hear. I called customer service. She started giving me instructions and asked me to yank something (I don't remember now after 4 months) the top. I told her I don't see the part she was talking about. I told her my Mantis was a 4-cycle Honda motor. She realized the problem - she was giving instructions for a 2-cycle Mantis! She gave me two dealer names that will take care of the problem. Both dealers said it will cost me money to have them fix it as I didn't buy from them. I had, had enough.
I returned the product back and the great customer service at Amazon (the best out there. Why can't Comcast and Verizon have such customer service?) promptly gave me back all my 450 bucks back. I would rather have had a working product and cleared the backyard and see the grass fill up than the weeds. Hmmm... Rating:

Mantis 4-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator
This Tiller is truly an amazing tool -- if you buy new - squeeze excess oil out of air filter foam (into a paper towel) before use. Assembly a snap --Starts easily -- does the work of a big machine while being light and easy to work with.Mantis 4-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand #7262-15-02 Rating:

a real time saver and convenient
i have been thinking about buying this product for awhile. i had been delaying for awhile due to the high price but when amazon offered a discound on this product along with the $30 off for signing up for the amazon chase credit card, i broke down and bought it. it ended up being only $30 more than the 2-cycle model after all the discounts. i gave it 4 stars due to the price that you would have to pay if you didn't factor in the discounts.
so far i am pleased with the way it runs and works. its very easy to move around to the different parts of my yard due to it being small and light...it helps too when other family members want to use it. they can just throw it in the trunk of their car and go.
it worked very well in areas of my garden where the soil had been turned over in the past, making the soil very light and soft. this is a nice alternative to using the shovel which can be hard on the back if you want to plant several plants.
i also have a large area that i want to use the tiller but the soil is very hard clay and dry. this makes it difficult to use the tiller since the ground is so hard the tiller just bounces off the ground. the tiller is not heavy enough to dig into the ground. my solution to this is to wet the hard ground at night with the hose and give the water time to soak down into the dirt and in the morning use the tiller to turn over the softened wet dirt.
finally, since its a 4-cycle engine, i like the fact that i don't have to mix the oil and gas together trying to get the right mixture. all in all i am very pleased. Rating:

love this tiller
I just recieved my tiller, put it together, (easily done, comes with instructional video) and tilled my flower beds for spring planting. The engine started on the second pull, and was suprisingly quiet. I would reccomend this tiller for anyone with a green thumb. |
