The Mantis Tiller works in a unique way - the tines rotate forward at up to 240 rpm, (twice as fast as many other tillers) and you guide the Mantis backwards. It is the resistance created that pulls the Mantis down into the ground. Walk backwards or move the tiller from side to side like a vacuum cleaner over one piece of ground until the desired level of tilling is reached.

This cultivator is ideal for preparing allotments, vegetable plots, flower beds or other areas in the garden to be planted. It is highly manoeuvrable because of its light weight. It leaves very fine tilth due to tine speed and shape. Simply rake soil flat after using the Mantis Tiller and you have a prepared seed bed in minutes.

A new, 240v electric motor (1.05hp/0.78kW) powers the Mantis Electric Tiller. Once started the tines do not turn until you accelerate the engine, using the control on the handlebars. It is controlled by a 3-speed control lever built into the handle bar grip and has a safety circuit breaker to prevent accidental damage to the motor or operator. There is also a built in carry handle and cable hook to prevent the power cord from being accidentally pulled out of the socket, and the machine has folding handles for easy transportation.

A range of lawn, garden, and maintenance accessories are available for this Mantis Cultivator:
