Over 25 years ago a small red tiller was first introduced to UK gardeners. Its manufacturer boldly promised that the little workhorse would make gardening easier.
Back then, all tillers were big, heavy behemoths that were difficult to manoeuvre. Using a tiller was a big, manly chore. After tilling a garden with a giant beast of a machine, every muscle in your body ached.
Today, men and women alike of all gardening abilities are happily tilling their gardens with Mantis Tillers. In fact, it’s hard to find a gardener who will say anything disparaging about a Mantis Tiller.
Mantis receives hundreds of unsolicited testimonial letters and emails every year. Many gardeners become fond of their Mantis Tillers.
“The Mantis tiller does it all”
“The Little Tiller that does it all.”
It’s the patented “serpentine” (curved) tines that still set the Mantis Tiller apart from other tillers, giving it the ability to cut through sod, tough soil and even vegetation with ease. (Other small tillers use a scaled-down version of the “bolo” bent tines found on big, heavy tillers, a design that is significantly less effective on a lightweight machine.)
