I had a Mantis and it consistently had engine problems after the first
summer. After the repair costs far exceeded the purchase cost, I tossed it and got a Honda, which has performed flawlessly for quite a while. However, for uncultivated clay soil, either of these is too small and would take forever to do any decent sized plot. I would suggest renting a larger model for the initial tilling, and add enough humus or other organic matter to get the soil in good shape. Once the soil is amended, the smaller tiller is great for tilling, or even weeding and edging. luriko wrote: I am thinking of getting a mantis tiller. It seems a bit small to me to do everything claimed. They look like they would work well in cultivated soil, but I am not so sure how they would fare in clay or uncultivated soil. Anybody own one or have any advise? Thx.... -- SPAMBLOCK NOTICE! To reply to me, delete the h from apkh.net, if it is there. |
