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 have the electric version, and it's worked well for me in heavy clay. Hate 2-cycle engines, and have no real need for a tiller capable of handling large spaces (I'd hire a neighbor with a tractor for that sort of thing). I've dug 40x40 gardens by hand... it's not so bad if you put down occlusive mulch to kill the sod first. I suspect the Mantis is probably going to get really boring if you're going to use it to create large beds... its strength is in "detail work". |
