- Putting this really small, light weight, 4-cycle rototiller to the test on hard packed, untilled ground. I have a lot more to say about this machine, check it out here; mikesbackyardnursery.com/2018/...

Mike, this might be one of the greatest birthday presents that I ever bought my wife. She has had hers for around 10 years and still loves it, light, not over powering, easy to use and just add gas and go, no mixing gas and oil. And hers came with a lawn edger, sweet.
I am 89 and have had a Mantis Tiller for 10 years.Powered by the Brilliant Honda mini 4=stroke engine Just turned over 500sq/ft of garden to a fine tilth, on only 5 fills of the fuel tank..Had to get new tines last year as it had done masses of work over the years.Can't praise it enough.CRACKING BIT of kit
Some may call me crazy, but I just bought one of these and plan to till a 24 x 40 garden with it. I will post video on my channel in future.
I love how your mule just stares at the tiller. It must be glad to not have to do it.
Probably heard stories about his great grandfather having to plow manually before the combustion engine was invented 🤔
I like it! Hey Mike, thanks for the demo. I had the 2 cycle version and gave it to my brother a couple years ago to do a job.
This one looks like the ticket.
Have been using these in our UK gardening business for years. A fantastic bit of kit that I wouldn't be without.
How does it do with hard (compact) soil? Thanks.
Thanks for this video. I'm looking at getting a used Mantis, and this showed what they are capable of doing.
That's some beautiful soil you have there. I like that it goes as deep as you need it to and there's no wheels to limit you.
I’ve had a Mantis a few years now with the Honda GX25 engine. It’s a great tiller. Don’t use ethanol gas, make sure it’s non-ethanol and you won’t have startup issues. It’s a really great machine for tight spaces.
I just bought this tiller at Lowe's and the employee told me that it was highly recommended to add a fuel stabilizer that treats ethanol. He said if I don't add a "cap" full to the gasoline, that the ethanol will eventually cause issues in the carburetor (gum and goop build-up) and it will be hard to start it. So, I bought the fuel stabilizer/ethanol treatment to avoid this issue....
@@brianscheidler5638 don't even bother with the stabilizer, find non ethanol gas at a local station, or buy it in a can.
Clear, concise, and funny. Good review!
Love those little tillers. Ours is 26 years old and still tilling.
That's one of the most honest review/endorsements I've ever seen... Maybe the first advertisement of any sort in years that actually made me want to buy the product.
Thank you for sharing your time and experience. You sir are one of the best.
Absolutely beautiful ok I've seen plenty reviews I'm going to get this one right now!
Thank you for this. I am planning to rent one today for breakin up some high areas of ground in the yard and then leveling it with hand tools. This will help me not break my damn back using a hoe, mattick, shovel, etc. I think the best part of the video by far is 5:38
I have rock hard clay "soil". I want to take out the existing lawn and do the whole thing right with black dirt, compost, and sand. I'll probably have to pay someone to do it for me, but I'm just experimenting on a small patch to see how much has to be taken out, and how much new soil brought in. I think I can work this small roto-tiller - it doesn't look too scary. Thanks for this video!
Did it work on hard soil?
Thank you for this video. I just purchased one. Can’t wait to use it ^.^
This is the information that I was looking for about this cultivator......... thanks.........
Never realized but these would be great for digging trenches for water lines
I've used them for just that purpose. I have dug trenches for electric cable, buried gutter drain lines and even dug a small backyard fish pond. They're great machines and I wouldn't be without one. As a matter of fact, I just planted two sugar maple trees in our yard two days ago and went round and round and loosened up all the soil so all I had to do was shovel it out, set the tree and backfill.
Also, go Mantis' website. I saw a trance digger attachment on there for about $50
*trench
Hey Mike thank you for the step by step details on the mantis. I was a little skeptical until I seen this review. Now I can with out doubt what so ever buy used in good condition off Facebook market. Not sure what model she has. Her asking price is $100. Brand new out the box the lowest price starts at $300 at Lowes.

I have hard soil so was wondering how it would do on hard soil. Thanks for the demo with regular soil though.
Great video. Thanks for making it.
Keep going man ! I love your videos keep doing what you do !
Great demo. Thanks.
Good video Mike! I am getting a 4 stroke Mantis soon. They are great machines!
Thanks for a very informative video.
I have the 2 stroke model.It must be 30 years old.It is a great machine and you can get other attachments.
This is adorable. Love the opening scene.
Hi I love your donkeys ❤️❤️❤️ wonderful review 😊
I have two mantis but, 2 cycle, gas, and electric, but, my arm gave out, so I'm looking at the electric start for a new gas Mantis. got to get one right of before Tariffs are raised making everything metal more expensive or us consumers
e' bello che tratti bene gli animali,bravo.
Man, this is hilarious video at the end. I like you already
I have a 2 cycle mantis. Is a complete POS. Every time you use it it has to go back to the shop cuz it quits running! Been looking for the large 16 inch 4-cycle mantis
Bloody hell mate your plot is massive . How many years will it take with that machine before you can plant?
Do you recall if Mantis included a little bottle of oil when new in the box?
Just like my Echo 210 tiller.... well, perhaps not as cool as the Mantis. I thank you Mikes BackyardNursery.
I think this is the tiller I'm going to buy. I was going to go electric. But this is impressive.
Thx for demonstrating👍
Aww their sooo happy, wow every impressive.
How much are replacement blades? As I have really rocky soil with golfball to baseball size rocks.
how can I get one to buy to end my suffering as a Nigerian farmer.
Wow, I only need to go down a couple of inches for new grass. this looks like it has plenty of power. Thanks for the vid.
Hii sir if there are some small stones in the land then this tiller works or not
If you reversed the blades, would it have done the same thing going forward?
I love the Super Mario outfit
Smart man! Let it warm up.
I love it.
Can you review the donkeys PLEASE!!!!
AGREE
@@184876ela Mike and his donkeys .... hmmmmm hes wearing his easy access bibs .
If this isn't the makings of a top notch comedy show, I don't know what is.
Can I use this to make a dirt bike track? 😅
Nice video great job. N i just subscribed to your channel. I think event the donkeys want to learn how to use the culvator
How is that machine sir Mike?
Are anygood for beach sand with weedsam??
I bought a similar cheaper model. Im gonna use it to rip up the lawn to plant new seed.
How much is a petrol tiller 4-stroke deluxe
Good video thanks
Is this the XP model?
if I get one I will use it when the soil is soft after the rains
Mule works for plowing and fertilizing
As a novice how do I know if my Mantis is a 2 or 4 cycle? There is a label on mine it says 50:1 so that sounds like I need to mix fuels.
It is a 2 stroke, mix up 500ml fuel to 10ml of 2 stroke oil.Only use stihl green 2 stroke oil as it is the best.
hey man i like your donkey how to get one i live in maryland
How can i get that kind of gas tank?
Thank you sir me and my dad going to Home Depot to rent one going plant new grass seeds for front yard
I rented this tiller today and it sucked on hard soil, It has no weight to it so it just bounces around like a bad check. It needs a 75 lb piece of lead below the engine.
I love your donkeys 😂
I've had this about four months and have found it to be an aggressive and powerful rig. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjo0FLo5z3Y_qUcT3vSlOqpMaMdFjvsXa I've used several others in the past and the Sun Joe surpasses these, easily. I note that several people have commented that it bounces on rocky and compacted soil. I believe that would be the case with all tillers - the ground does need to be "broken", either with a larger tractor type unit or with a shovel, and rocks need to be removed. I'm living on a Pike silt loam here in the midwest and the Sun Joe turns my garden to bug dust in two quick passes. I use a technique where I do a short 2 foot run then pull it back and let it go over it again.
If that thing had a small plow point on the back that you could stick in the ground to hold it back and let it dig it would work better.
En Colombia donde la puedo adquirir
how much...cost it is... please tell me...
The most impressive thing is you didn't hit any rocks
Pain to start in the cold
Hello, do you have a video of your sweet donkeys rolling around in the dirt after you guys left the area? I’m hoping to see that lol and maybe you can till a bigger area for the donkeys and again leave the area so we can watch the donkeys go roll in it! That would be so fun to watch pppllleeeaaassseee 🙏🙏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
l like this but how much price
Now wait, you have a mule let them work, Mule power. Great tiller.
ya but its going o take a pretty long time
motorized tiller is fast
The donkey wanted to help. Hey dad I'm showing off on film a 9.5
I'm here for the curious donkeys
My favorite part was watching the donkeys lol
Price?
v príručkách píšu ísť vopred.
je to hlúposť!
tak, ako tuná, treba zaradiť spiatočku, potom skyprí plnú hĺbku, nie iba povrch!
I promise you a lot they step on your toe
you know you've been stepped on
words from a wise man
pulling the starter like that can do damage!
भारतात मिळेल का ?
The one I have jumps a lot
You might want to check that you don't have the tine's mounted to cultivate, which is backwards.
It can also happen if the ground is stoney or has some large roots in it.
ومن اين احصل عليها
I would buy this and replace blades with wheels, then use it to pull me on a skateboard. Park it at the bike rack and hope principal doesn't confiscate it.
More useful during ice fishing with the heavy sled. No more walking.
hi mike nice one. I am a Nigerian farmer for 13years I have been farming manually.I seriously need this wonderful machine. I will greatful if you guys can help me.
Hello, I don't know on what sort of scale you farm on how many acres, as you can see the machine tills a fairly narrow row and would take some time to cover a large area. Ideal for working between rows of crops weeding etc, I would think if not available in your country that you will have to arrange to import your own. But perhaps you are fixed up now as this is eight months or more ago.
Hi how much cost this, I need to buy ,can you send suppliers details?
A large farm of this size you plow with this small machine
Send me the price RSA
The donkey is so inquisitive
Love the donkey
I'LL TAKE THE TILLER AND THE DONKEYS
