Thanks to all for the great information on the Mantis tiller. I ordered
the 2 cycle gas tiller last night from Amazon. Got it with the kick
stand and also the bushings to help with weed tangles on the tine shaft.
Sounds like it should do a pretty decent job for a home vegetable
gardener like myself It's also great to find a product that's still
made right here in the good old USA and not from China!

Again, thanks so much for your input!
