Anyone have one? I'd appreciate comments pro or con. They're cheaper than
renting one three times around here, and at least according to the promo
material, they're much easier than trying to wrestle with the bigger
units.
I'll be using it to create a 40x40 vegetable garden, and as many flower
beds
as I can find time to fiddle with.


I love mine, I've had it for five years now, it starts every time I
ask it to G and does exactly what I need. We've got a bigger
Troy-built that we use on the large veggie gardens, and to break sod,
etc. but for the smaller raised beds the Mantis works well.

Ann, have you tried breaking sod with it? What were the results? What kind
of soil were you dealing with?
