tiller

Our first one was not a Mantis but the other red one...can't remember name. It died and happened to go to Sears and they had close out on their little one. We have sandy soil and use it constantly to weed the garden. We never had such a weed free garden until we got these. I LOVE it b/c it is easy to use...I cannot manage a big tiller.

Mine's the bigger Mantis with the Honda engine. I love it. I did use it to break ground that had not ever been a garden. It took a couple of passes, but it did a fine job. It is the MOST useful tool I've ever had for a raised bed or flower bed.

BUY ONE!!!!!

You'll love it!!!!!!

I have one. It's small for most of the things I do, but I found that I can use the (otherwise silly) edger attachment to slice sod into strips, which can then be rolled up and composted elsewhere. Good if you have expansionistic tendencies with your garden!
