For awhile i been wanting a mantis tiller to maintain the flower beds here. found one on craigslist going for 100 dollars i jumped on it. Bought it from a rental place I walked in and pulled the cord slowly felt the compression and said SOLD lol.. the only things wrong was the starter rope needed replacing and, i found the throttle was not opening up all the way when you squeezed trigger all the way ez fixes tho. I really love this machine it's a bad mofo lol...

That's good to know that with propper care it should last me many years. Thanks for watching.

You will love this machine. I have 2 that I use for my lawncare business, and they are used all the time. They are 5 years old and never a problem with them.

thing sounds mean!
Great video! I agree the attachments for the weed eater are trash. I'm ready to buy a mantis soon. However I suggest instead of gas from the pump, get the pre mixed can fuel called "Tru Fuel" There is no ethanol in it and will save your 2 cycle engine from being trashed. Ethanol is a death sentence for 2 cycle engines. Again thanks you answered some questions I had.

I'll look into that Tru Fuel. Thanks for watching.

I do have the problem with hand hitting killswitch when tilling but, i am going to remedy that either i am going to mount small toggle on the starter housing or on the brace across the handles that says mantis on it.

Mantis has made another design change since I bought mine. It is alot different looking. I'm quite happy with mine just the same. Thanks for watching.

Lets see that little guy in action. I have a Troy-Bilt Pony that is awesome but its too big for beds. I've been thinking about getting one of these so I don't have to pull all the weeds, I can just rip 'em up. Looks like you did ok getting the edger and kick stand. Nice tiller.

Yeah, it works like a charm. Right now the garden is weed free so I was thinking of doing a edging video with the Mantis soon.
