Default Mantis tiller

Can anyone give me their opinion on the Mantis tiller?

I had a troy built years ago and loved it, but sold it after back
surgery. Went to square foot gardening a couple of years ago and am
considering one for my small garden, flower beds, etc.

How good is it at breaking sod for new planting beds?

Thanks,
Bruce



I have a Mantis tiller and I hate it. If you have sandy soil, it might
work for you to cultivate existing beds -- if you can get it started.
There is no way it will work on sod.

I've heard good things about the little Honda tiller.

Best regards,
Bob
