Here’s your new MANTIS Tiller . . . the lightweight wonder that’s
“Changing the Way Americans Garden.”
®
Unlike big tillers, your MANTIS Tiller weighs only 20 pounds. So
it lifts easily, handles smoothly, tills and weeds precisely. And,
unlike other small tillers, it features serpentine tines that churn
soil to ten inches deep. It creates a soft, smooth seed bed, even in
problem soil.
Once you know how to use your tiller correctly, we guarantee
you’ll love it. So first, please read this manual. It shows, step
by step, how to use your tiller safely. Plus, it shows how the
MANTIS Border Edger can make light work of your edging
needs.
