As we get older, our tolerance for back-breaking work diminishes. We have nothing to prove to anyone anymore. We don’t take pride in our aching bodies or our callused hands like we used to. Life can be easier, more relaxing and more enjoyable. We can spend more invaluable hours with our loved ones and doing the things that we enjoy — like planting and harvesting, for instance. The ultimate in gardening ease is surely the Mantis 4-Cycle, powered with a 1.1 horsepower Honda engine. Yet, the most popular tiller on the market is the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator, which Consumers Digest calls a “Best Buy.”
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.
What consumers seem to like most about the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator is its versatility. They love how easy it is to use and the different attachments that allow them to perform all types of jobs. The lightweight nature and the predictability of where the tines are going makes precision jobs much, much easier, consumers report at sites like Amazon, Epinions and Viewpoints. Many individuals report owning their Mantis products for 10-25 years and never having trouble with the workmanship. There is great satisfaction with the Mantis warranty and customer service for those who are admittedly “hard” on their machinery and needed a replacement tine after a run-in with a rock. “I had the tines replaced for free after digging deep ditches in rocky clay,” says one buyer.
Even though consumers give rave reviews to the Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller/Cultivator, some people admit they got blisters from extended use without gloves (despite the “ergonomic” handle) and others mention that lots of roots and debris get tangled up in their tiller at the start of the season. Not everyone likes the idea of mixing gas and oil together to run this tool, which could be solved by purchasing the Mantis 4-cycle or the Mantis Electric tiller instead. To order this machine, you can visit www.mantis.com, where it sells for $349 and includes free shipping. If you’re looking for a great deal, you can find it at www.amazon.com for $290 plus shipping too.
