Small size - BIG performance
"I recently purchased
one of your Mantis tillers. At the time I read about it,
I thought something that small and lightweight couldn't
do a good job. I was totally wrong. I am very impressed
with how well and fast it does the job. I have been unable
to work in my vegetable garden for over 2 years due to
a lower back injury. The Mantis tiller has allowed me
to get back in my garden which I didn't think I would
ever be able to do. The Mantis is a great machine and
very easy to assemble. The video tape and instructions
are also very easy to follow. I will be telling all my
gardening friends about it."

"I'll
try not to bore you with the details, but the water
line to my shop failed years ago, and recently I wanted
to use it again and repair the leak in my yard. Much
to my dismay when I turned it on, it had sprung a leak
right at the house. I baptized the Mantis on Saturday.
After digging the first hole at the house, I remembered
I had sleeved the water pipe to ten feet from the house.
A second hole had to be dug. In the past I would have
been beat after the first hole in this hard, rocky,
Maryland clay. Not this time - the Mantis made peat
moss of the clay. …..The bottom line is, I removed
the damaged pipe, replaced it, turned the water on and
back filled the first hole, and I didn't get started
till lunchtime. I was tired by the end of day but I
couldn't believe how much I got done. The Mantis made
child's play of the hardest part of the job. The
picture shows the Mantis, thirty inches down, you can
see the sleeve at the bottom of the hole. What a machine!!
I've been fed lines by manufacturers
in the past about how their tool or machine would do,
but the Mantis is everything you say it is and more.
…..The only thing little about the Mantis is its
size and weight. I regret not having one years ago.
It is incredible how hard it works without working the
operator. The Mantis is unbelievable - if I'd had one
years ago I wouldn't be burned out at 62. My compliments
on a super designed rugged machine."

"I don't believe I have
ever previously written a letter of this type. Several
months ago I purchased a Mantis Tiller as a gift for my
wife. She loves to garden. I don't necessarily share her
enthusiasm. I bought it on the recommendation of a co-worker
who raved about the one he had. Frankly, I thought he
was exaggerating however, I was in need of a gift and
because of my wife's passion for the yard, I decided to
make the purchase. If nothing else, it was easier than
going to the mall. …..Having wrestled with full
size tillers in the past, it seemed as though the Mantis
was going to be too small to do much of anything. I was
very wrong. It is infrequent that you buy something that
lives up to the hype contained in the advertisement. If
something turns out to be half as good as the sales pitch
you're usually very happy. The Mantis does not equal the
promises made in your sales literature, it far exceeds
them. It is mind-boggling the amount of work that little
machine puts out. More amazing is the ease of operation.
My wife is a small girl and I was concerned that I would
have to handle the tilling phase of her endeavors. That
has not been the case. Much to my relief, she operates
the Mantis with ease."

"Just wanted to let you
know I received the tiller and was pleasantly surprised.
I've always had the impression the cultivating tiller
was more of a toy than a serious gardening machine. Of
course, like any man with a new toy, I had to try it out.
The Mantis is by no means a toy. The quality and durability
is quite apparent; not to mention the ease of use and
storage. I would highly recommend this serious tool to
anyone with a garden of any size. Thanks again."

"I have had my Mantis now just
starting the third year. I am absolutely IN LOVE with
this quality, little machine!! It is the best $300 I ever
spent and I don't know how in the world I ever got along
without one! This thing is a miniature wonder and the
most fun I have had since frozen peas came out!! I think
my wife is jealous of it. I have used it for my garden,
replanting grass, cultivating flower beds, edging, I even
hauled it on vacation this summer to La Porte, CO to prepare
a garden area for my son. He was impressed!! I wouldn't
be surprised if he has his own Mantis by next Spring.
I have worked in peat, grass clippings, sand, and have
soil now that I only dreamed of several years ago."
