Introducing The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator
The Mantis Mini and XP Tillers are the garden and yard wonders that make the hard and painful work of old-fashioned hand
tools…OBSOLETE! These lightweight, easy-to-use garden powerhouses will help you to get all your gardening and landscaping
chores done faster and easier than you ever dreamed possible.
From busting tough sod, to weeding around delicate plants…
even digging a planting hole…the Mantis does it all!
Put the JOY Back Into Your Gardening…
With the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator!
Do you love gardening, but hate all of the back-breaking and
time-consuming hard work of using old-fashioned shovels, rakes
and hoes? Wouldn’t you like to put the JOY back into all of your
gardening activities? Well…now you can!
Light Weight Makes It Easy-to-Use
Mantis Tillers are incredibly easy-to-lift, easy-tocarry, and easy-to-move around the yard…for
virtually anyone!
Prepare Beautiful
New Planting Beds
If you’ve ever broken
ground to create a new
planting bed using hand
tools, you know just how
long it takes and how
back-breaking it can be.
With a Mantis Tiller you’ll
create beautiful new beds, with rich, fluffy soil, in half
the time and without breaking your back.
Turns Your Soil Into Rich Fertile Loam!
By deep tilling (10” deep), and breaking up hard,
compacted soil you will create a beautiful, loose, friable
planting bed. You can then use your Mantis tiller to
improve your soil even further by adding rich organic
matter to create the kind of super rich soil we call…
Black Gold!
Spinning at 240 rpm (twice the speed of other tillers), M
Optional attachments help you do much, much more…

& Bunkers
Right out of the box a Mantis does more!
Till, dig, shallow cultivate and weed all with one machine
– no optional tine assembly or additional weight systems
needed.
“serpentine” tines readily bust through tough soil and hard
clay. Other small tillers just bounce or require “optional
tilling tines” and/or added weight systems, yet still can’t
beat the digging depth of a Mantis.
Lightweight and Compact
The Mantis Mini and XP tillers are light enough to carry to
the work site with one hand! They are the
lightest, easiest-to-handle tiller/cultivators
on the market. Handles fold down for
compact storage and transport.
More Power Choices
Mantis Mini tillers (9” wide) come in your choice of 21.2cc
2-cycle gas/oil engine, 25cc Honda® 4-cycle gas
only engine or 115v electric motor. The Mantis
XP tiller (16” wide) comes with a powerful 35cc
Honda® engine.
