Mantis 7920 2-Cycle Plus Tiller / Cultivator

This mantis is great it does a much nicer job then the less expensive ones. Its well worth the extra money. I ran it out of gas last fall in the spring i put fresh gas in primed it 3 times pulled it 2 times and started rite up. I recamend buying the kick stand and the sleeves that go on the shafts they make it much easier to get grass untangled.

Not a bad little tiller at all! I own a larger self propelled rear tine tiller that I’d used previously that did a good job but was a work out to use and much larger than I really needed. I’ve since placed it for sale and purchase the Mantis. This is a perfect little machine for the average home or small homestead gardeners. Very simple assembly, I’m certain even the most non skilled person would understand the assembly instructions. Lightweight, easy to carry from shop to garden and if toting isn’t your thing, fire it up and lightly depress the throttle and the tines will walk itself, they will lightly dig in however. Probably not recommended but it works when moving around the garden for me. Fuel consumption seems adequate enough, I can till my entire garden on less than a tank. Quieter than I expected too. I like to till deep and this Mantis does the job, just remember that unlike a typical tiller, you will pull the machine towards you, it takes some practice to follow a straight line for uniform rows. Rock back and forth and even angle the machine in the row a bit to dig deep. I’m thoroughly pleased with this tiller and wish I had gotten on sooner.UPDATE:This spring we’ve had an inground pool installed and the process wrecked our yard and left behind are huge mounds of left over dirt. Solution, use this dirt to repair lawn damage and fill in low spots in the rest of the yard. Problem, that’s a lot of dirt. Problem, the dirt mounds are tough to shovel. Solution, my handy dandy Mantis tiller to the rescue. Since it’s to lightweight I can easily work it on these huge mounds of clay and dirt, bust it up and easily shovel into the bed of our UTV and transport where we need it. I’m working the hell out of my little machine and it’s a beast.

awesome product, a work horse for my 20X20 garden

The Mantis tiller is a piece of junk. It was hard to start. It works like a child's toy. The handles are wobbly. It did not penetrate soil, is very awkward to use and goes in a backward motion. Hard to control the speed because of trying to hang onto the wobbly handlebars. Amazon sent me on an endless loop when I tried to return. Very disappointed in both the tiller and Amazon return.UPDATE: After multiple attempts, finally spoke to a real person at Amazon. They gave me full credit for Mantis tiller, and said to donate or dispose of it in whatever manner I chose.

Works well around tight spaces in the garden. I use this to fill around the tomatoes while my husband uses our larger tiller for bigger areas. This is easier for me to handle and works great.

It is a great gardening tool

The media could not be loaded. Each year I rent one of these to open my gardens. This year I decided it was worth it to me to own one myself.You can not beat the quality. It is very lightweight and easy to maneuver and it is extremely powerful and durable.Video is first time I started the tiller. One handed!Picture is exactly ten minutes later. I was able to open an entire flower bed full of clay and rocks.So very happy with purchase.Delivery was fast and customer service at Mantis was very quick to answer any of my questions.Very happy to own my Mantis.🌱

Would be five star if it included the spacers with the product, they are very needed for the product to work efficiently. They should be included even if it adds the difference to the cost. It is a waste of time to have to order after the fact.
