I am looking for dependable but not very expensive tiller for my
garden. I've just got offer in the mail for Mantis tiller but it does
not look powerful enough and seems overpriced for such size of machine.
I do not know much about tillers since I am just starting my first
garden season. I will appreciate any advices about these machines.
Also will consider used machine in good working condition if somebody
want to sell it for reasonable price.


It depends on how big an area you need to do. The Mantis and other similar
small ones work good for small areas. Beyond that, go with a rear tine
tiller. I have a 30+ year old Troy Bilt Horse that still runs great.
(Note that MTD bought out Troy Bilt, so the quality of the newer ones may not
be the same).
