Why Mantis Tillers

Why Mantis Tillers?

Mantis has a long-established history of simplifying the toughest gardening and landscaping tasks. Mantis introduced the first small tiller over 40 years ago, and we’ve remained at the forefront in providing big results from a mini tiller. Our customers have relied on Mantis tillers to help them grow great gardens and keep their lawns and backyards looking their best since 1980. Don’t rely on just any tiller – trust the original and most experienced name.

Meet the World’s Best Selling Mini–Tiller

We WERE the FIRST and we are the FINEST. The Mantis Mini Tiller design has been replicated by virtually every other small tiller on the market. None have matched our quality, performance, ease of use, or commitment to innovation.

A Legacy of Quality and Durability

There’s a reason why Mantis tillers are passed down to generations of gardeners; they’re designed to last! Constructed of durable materials, our tillers exemplify strength, longevity and quality.

5-stars

Met and exceeded my expectations!
Impressed with my new 4 stroke mantis tiller. Breaks through hard Southern Delaware clay and does a very nice job of garden bed prep. Easily cuts through 3/4” tree/shrub roots!
Bob L – Lewes, DE

Torture Tested Design

We torture-test our tillers in a specially designed chamber filled with a mixture of rocks, sand, topsoil and hardwood mulch. We run them hour after hour, day after day to assure they’ll stand up to the toughest digging and tilling conditions. No other manufacturer is as committed to the long-lasting durability and dependability of your tiller as Mantis is.

Mantis Tillers Torture Pit


Heavyweight Performance in a Lightweight Tiller

The Mantis Tiller is better by design. The specially engineered tine geometry maximizes digging power while breaking clumps and creating the ideal fluffy loam to maximize plant growth and nutrient uptake. Placing the engine directly over the tines delivers maximum rototilling and digging efficiency. In combination with an innovative gear design, it is the secret to generating more power with less weight. No other small garden tiller is as lightweight and powerful as the Mantis Tiller.

Comfort While You Work

Mantis tillers make digging and weeding more enjoyable. Ergonomic handle grips are designed for comfort. Throttle control is flush-mounted; speed is easy to control. An integrated carry handle makes lifting easy. We designed our tillers with an eye toward comfort and performance in equal measure.

California Prop 65 Information

www.p65warnings.ca.gov

This warning pertains to the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 commonly referred to as Proposition 65 which requires warnings about chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more than thirty years this law has required businesses selling products in the State of California that may expose persons to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm to provide special warnings. The Proposition 65 regulations have recently changed and effective August 30, 2018, new requirements apply to the content and location of certain Proposition 65 warnings. In response to these changes, Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. is providing the warning you see on the product web page you viewed prior to linking to this explanation. The company has the same warning on the product associated with that product web page. The regulatory agency in the State of California responsible for Proposition 65 has made additional information about Proposition 65 available on its web page: https://oehha.ca.gov/propostion-65.

The company is also party to a 1995 consent decree entered into together with many other manufacturers of covered products (as defined in the consent decree) and for those products the company has, in addition to the warning referred to above, also included the Proposition 65 warning mandated by the consent decree in the owner’s/operator’s manual for the covered product.
