Will it handle rocks? How about clay soil?

"I just turned 60 last month, and I haven't been doing much gardening for the past few years as I suffer with a very bad back. I moved into this house 3 years ago, and have been putting off digging up an area approximately 12x15 in front of my house. It's all weeds & rocks and probably hadn't been touched in many, many years. It's a real eyesore.

After seeing your TV advertisement with the money back guarantee promise, and then checking out your website, I took a chance and ordered the Mantis, even though I thought this tool might be best suited for cultivating an existing vegetable garden. I was pleasantly surprised this weekend when the Mantis chewed up the roots and kicked back the stones & rocks and pulverized everything in it's wake!!!

What a magnificent little workhorse! It was easy to operate and fun to use. I absolutely love it, and now I'm thinking of more uses around my property. It greatly exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it!"

"No question... I have had my Mantis gas tiller for just about a year, now, and I used it as recently as this afternoon. I have to say that it is one of the best tools I have ever owned---and I do know the difference. My yard is entirely Texas gumbo---the thick, hard, clay substance in place of what luckier folks call 'dirt.' It is a hardworking and reliable tool that does a fine job of tilling up this stuff. Slower than it would be to till good loam, but it doesn't quit and it always gets the job done. I really don't think a larger tiller would be of any advantage to me, as this gets in everywhere and works. If you want to quote me, feel free to do so; I recommend it to everyone who will listen! Basically, a ten out of ten! Thanks for an incredible product at a very reasonable price."

"A BIG Thank You!! Thank you for making such a GREAT product. I was totally impressed with the way the Mantis tiller went through my hard clay ground. I have been wanting to put in a small garden in my back yard for sometime now,but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one of those big tillers. The Mantis tiller was the perfect answer for me. Thanks again for making such a GREAT product!!"

"I just received my Mantis tiller this week and used it for the first time yesterday. I must say that I am very impressed!! I've added good top soil, sand, lime, and fertilizer on top of cloddy hard clay. This little machine literally pulverized the stuff. I have never had a garden look like this before (just like the pictures in the magazines). Other attachments (aerator and dethatcher) are definitely going to be considered add-ons in the near-future. It cut through the grassy sod areas around the garden like a hot knife through butter. Never again am I going to own or borrow the neighbors big, heavy machine. The video and manual are very concise and clearly written. Keep up the good work! Thank you."

"I am a resident of Missouri hill country (Ozarks). This is hard scrabble ground and a killer for garden machinery. I purchased a Mantis Tiller and worked this ground extensively; no other machine could take this punishment and keep working. Your Mantis Tiller is superior to all other brands I have tried in my seventy-five years of living."

"My husband tilled up our garden plot yesterday and it was not a small job. Our plot is 50' x 22'. The Mantis tore through it like nothing and worked way better than the clunky tiller we rented before. My soil is great; it chopped up real fine, no big clumps like with the rented tiller. This was definitely the best investment decision I've made in a while."

"In this day and time it is very satisfying to do business with a manufacturer that covers all the bases; your 800 number, your tape, shipping on time and every one of the claims made in advertising are backed up with a quality product. I used my Mantis about 24 hours in some of the worst soil one could imagine, hard clay and rocks from 1-2" diameter to 6"… the mighty midget just threw them out. Your tape was excellent and your product shows a lot of research and development. I can see why you are able to give the guarantee that you do and remain in business. Congratulations to a company that makes a product that exceeds everything they claim."

"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."
