I love my little Honda, which I bought after renting a Mantis several times
and watching the fees add up fast.

I've used it to turn sod into perennial beds. I've used it to dig holes for
trees. I've used it to level a 50x30 foot patch of ground for raised beds.
I used it to dig the holes into which I placed the supports for my
trellises.

I've looked at the Honda, it looks good for a small tiller, but will
it turn over clay or just bounce on the surface?
