Mantis tiller cultivatorAN ALL-SEASON GARDEN TOOL

  • Tills your vegetable garden - then keeps on working!

  • Quickly digs a new bed even in hard, compacted soil - for spring bulbs, summer annuals or your favourite vegetables.

  • Reverse the tines to weed and shallow-cultivate your garden and flower beds. It's ideal for cultivating in vegetable gardens, and for loosening the soil around precious perennials and shrubs.

  • So easy to manoeuvre, it gently cultivates raised beds. It's so light and easy to lift, so powerful yet so controllable.

  • Digs deep planting holes for trees and shrubs - much faster than you'll do it with a spade.

  • Digs trenches in your lawn for laying irrigation pipes.

  • With optional accessories, it trims your hedges, aerates and dethatches your lawn, cuts neat edges on your borders, digs furrows, even cleans joints in your footpaths!

Think what a new, powerful, easy-to-use Mantis tiller will do for you!

At Mantis, they make it better…so we back it better!

Use the Mantis in your own garden for 60 days. If you are not completely satisfied, send it back to us for a no hassle refund. All you will pay is the freight.

LIFETIME TINE WARRANTY to original purchaser
If any tine breaks in normal usage - ever! - just send it back to us and it will be replaced FREE OF CHARGE.

2-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator and attachments are warranted for a period of two full years from date of purchase. If any part fails to work because of defects in materials or workmanship, we will repair or replace the part at no charge to you.

  • Powerful commercial-grade 2-cycle engine spins the tines twice as fast as most tillers. The engine will run all day as long as it has fuel. It does not need a rest period.
  • Patented curved tine teeth till down to 250mm (10"), chop through hard soil or clay.
  • One-piece die-cast gear box is virtually indestructible.
  • Tines spin at up to 240 rpm - twice the speed of other tillers!
  • Reverse the tilling tines to shallow -weed the top 50-75mm (2-3") of soil.
  • Tines are mounted under the engine so you can guide the tiller easily in the narrow rows between vegetables, around trees, or among perennials.

Just wanted to give you some positive feedback about the Mantis cultivator I purchased from you a few years ago. Even though it is not commercially rated, I have used it in my landscaping business extensively, made it work hard and long hours.

Apart from normal maintenance it has NEVER let me down. It is one of the most versatile little machines I own, and does an absolutely fabulous job of preparing lawns for sowing.

I just brought it out of winter storage, three months of no use, put in fresh fuel, one pull and it fired into life-what more could you ask for? Thank you for supplying a fabulous little machine.

Graham, thanks for the Mantis tiller. It went together easily, started as described, and on the small but very wet area I tilled this morning performed amazingly. It is not often a “labour saving” device is actually better than expected. I like its light weight, given that our 2200 sq metre section is all uphill with only foot access and the gardens are at the top and the bottom. It is like a terrier, seems almost pathologically intent on churning up the soil. Nice. Thanks. Now it just has to be as reliable as it looks and performs.

Cheers, Ron

Restore your lawn's health and beauty with Mantis' lawn-care add-ons.

dethatcherLawn Dethatcher attachment (no engine)

Lawn thatch is a normal build-up of grass root parts (stolons and rhyzomes), bound up with some dead plant material, near the surface of the soil. Moss is a shallow-rooting plant which tends to grow in wet, cold conditions. When thatch or moss is more than 12mm thick, it can prevent air, water and nutrients from penetrating to the grass roots. Heavy thatch and moss harbour insect pests and prevent new grass plants from getting started. This attachment has 80 strong, flexible spring-steel picks which gently pull up thatch and moss across a 375mm swath as you pull it. Dethatch your lawn regularly in spring or autumn - especially before seeding or fertilising.

Lawn Aerator attachment (no engine)

Four parallel blades cut fine slits in your lawn to allow more air, water and nutrients to penetrate. This promotes the activity of beneficial soil micro-organisms and encourages healthy lawns. Periodic aeration is especially recommended in areas where compaction occurs and where soil is heavy clay. Ideal before oversowing or spot-seeding your lawn.

Wheels give you the option of rolling or carrying your tiller to the garden. Park your tiller in an upright position while you add fuel. Store it upright even if there's no wall to lean it on! Wheels add stability when you use the Crevice Cleaner attachment or the Border Edger. Rubber tyres make the tiller easy to roll around your yard, over curbs and up hills. It takes only a few minutes to attach the wheel set to your tiller, only seconds to remove the wheels for tilling or adjust them to any of six different heights.
