Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator Takes The Hard Work Out Of
Re-Tilling Your Garden
By Jon Kryer
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.
Digging Down Into Your Yard
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.
Highly Rated On Amazon
Website to website, consumers have good things to say about the
Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator. "This is my twelfth season
using this tiller," one satisfied customer writes on Amazon,
where this product is highly rated.
Another consumer remarks that Mantis "really stands by their
lifetime warranty," adding that a 20-year-old tine was replaced,
no questions asked. This customer also admits, "It won’t
ever totally replace the big tillers, but it can do a whole lot
of things that the big ones can’t" -- like the edging, dethatching
and delicate row planting work.
Easy To Use
At www.viewpoints.com,
88% of the reviewers recommend this product. It’s rated well for
"smaller size, ease of handling and sufficient power"
that rivals the big tillers. "I finally bought one and now
I can’t live without it," admits a reviewer. "This is
absolutely one of the best purchases I have ever made," says
a self-professed "Mr. Green Thumb."
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.
Wear Gloves When Re-Tilling Your Garden
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.

is time to pack away all of your gardening tools...you are wrong.
