Customer Testimonial

We live in the Poconos where the ground is
literally rock hard. Digging here is always
an adventure so we were a little unsure if
your tiller would be tough enough to do the
job and be strong enough to take the
punishment. We are happy to report we've
had positive results and the Mantis has
saved us hours of work."

Put the Mantis Deluxe 2-cycle tiller to work in your garden and around your house. Newly designed features make creating and maintaining your garden even easier…and more comfortable than ever. This tiller has all the advantages of our classic Mantis tillers, plus new features to make creating and maintaining your garden even easier. The FastStart engine is standard equipment; it makes starting the tiller 75% faster and easier than other 2-cycle tillers on the market.
New ergonomic comfort grip handles are easy on your hands. Height-adjustable handles let you choose the height most comfortable for you. A conveniently placed on/off switch makes starting and stopping the tiller simple.
The Mantis Deluxe 2-cycle rototiller features our patented, serpentine tines that easily break new ground when you're ready to start a garden. Once your garden is established, use the Mantis Tiller to cultivate and weed your garden with ease.
Lightweight. Weighs only 25 pounds. This tiller is easy to lift, with convenient carrying handle.
Compact Design. 9” width easily gets into tight spaces, where no big tiller can go!
Easy Starting Engine. FastStart commercial-grade engine reduces starting effort by a full 75% and provides all the power you need. A 2-cycle engine, with its gas/oil mixture right in the tank, provides constant lubrication at any angle. It packs superior power in a compact size, and requires no oil changes!
Soft, Comfortable Grips. Ergonomic comfort grips are easy on your hands.
Adjustable Handle Height. Handles adjust to the height that's just right for you.
Flush-Mount Throttle. Gives you greater control. Throttle-activated centrifugal clutch means tines engage only when you squeeze the throttle. You won't have to worry about a "runaway" tiller.
Virtually Indestructible Power Train. Precision steel-cut gear system in heavy-duty cast housing for durability.
Patented, Reversible Tines. Exclusive design digs deep into the hardest soil, even clay. Reverse the tines to shallow cultivate or weed. Tines till down to 10" and spin 240 rpm–twice the speed of other tillers
Front-mounted engine guard and handle. Makes it easy-to-lift and carry.
Convenient Kickstand. Standard equipment on Deluxe tillers. Flips up and down just like a bicycle kickstand. Lets you park your tiller anywhere.
Lifetime Guarantee Against Broken Tines. We're so confident in our patented tines if one of them ever breaks, we'll replace it for free. No matter how long you've owned your tiller.
One-Year Money-Back Guarantee. Try any product that you buy directly from Mantis with NO RISK! If you're not completely satisfied, send it back to us for a complete no-hassle refund.

Time-Saving Tiller Attachments
Make Your Mantis Tiller/Cultivator an All-Around Yard and Garden Work Horse! See the Lawn Dethatcher, Planter/Furrower, Plow, and other attachments.
Turn a wet spot into a Rain Garden
Rain gardens capture and filter, rain water that would otherwise run off, or through, their property.

For an additional $30 you can upgrade to the FastStart 2-Cycle Tiller. Starts the engine with 75% less effort. Here's how it works: FastStart features a spring-loaded, ratchet-recoil to adjust the piston and compress air while delivering fuel directly to the ignition point. One smooth, easy complete pull is usually all you'll need for faster, easier starts with much less effort. Choose the FastStart option when you order your tiller.
When ordering parts, you may need to locate the SV number of your engine. The SV number is located between the gas tank & the carburetor, behind the gas line, on a black and silver tab on the silver engine housing.
