Mantis Tillers
Working in the Mantis tillers garden is one activity that allows me to collect my thoughts for the day and just spend some peaceful quiet time away from it all. Before I know it, I've lost all track of time because harvesting or pulling weeds is so absorbing.
When you get really involved in gardening, you seem to spend more time in nursery stores than actually in the garden as you seek out better quality seeds, plants, fertilizers, and Mantis tillers tools. Then there are pesky bugs and birds to deal with, not to mention all the nasty weeds that attack your creative efforts. It all goes with the territory! Mantis Tillers
Personally, I like to use my Mantis tillers to keep the rows between my plants clear of weeds. One tool we have all used for this purpose is the hoe. I am the proud owner of a whole collection of hoes. However, today I don't reach for a hoe; instead, I reach for the Mantis tillers cultivator that makes gardening a lot easier. Mantis tillers has updated the unit so it arrives completely assembled, including the kickstand and border edger. It takes just a few minutes to raise the Mantis tillers upper handles into position, tighten the knobs, and mix the gasoline-and you're off and running. I'm pleased to see these changes. Mantis tillers also offer accessories that turn this unit into a planter or furrower and border edger (free with the unit), lawn thatcher, aerator, and crevice cleaner.
At only about 20 pounds and with a built-in carrying handle, this Mantis tiller garden tiller cultivator still has to be one of the lightest units I have ever picked up. The Mantis tillers folding handles make it very easy to transport. Due to the Mantis tillers design and because it's so lightweight, the unit will not stand up on its own so Mantis added a kickstand, probably the best addition to the unit. Similar to a bicycle kickstand, it flips up when the tiller is in use and down to stabilize the unit. However, I want to point out that it is not advisable to allow the unit to run while it is supported by the kickstand. Vibrations from the engine will cause the kickstand to flip up into the closed position, allowing the unit to fall. The handle grips are much improved. Previously the tiller's extended right handle grip supported the unit when the user laid it down. Unfortunately, both grips were white which really showed dirt under normal use. Now the hand grips are black and ergonomically designed for a very comfortable grip. Another major change for the Mantis tillers garden cultivator is the handle throttle assembly. Before, it looked like an afterthought; now it's incorporated into the well-designed handle. The toggle switch that was used to stop the engine has been replaced by a thumb rocker switch built into the upper portion of the handgrip. While this is a convenient location, it is very easy to accidentally turn off the unit if the user is wearing gloves or if the user's hand should slide up and rotate on the upper portion of the handgrip. The Mantis Tillers tine guard has been improved to prevent debris from kicking back toward the user. Now it curves downward in the back so the guard is closer to the tines.
