Powerful but Easy to Control
Don't be fooled by the small, compact design of the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator. Though it weighs a mere 20 pounds and has a width of only nine inches, the Mantis is powerful, thanks to its two-cycle, commercial-grade gas engine.

A reliable push-button primer will get you started, but the tines won't move until you squeeze the throttle. Once you've activated the throttle, the patented serpentine tines spin at up to 240 RPM to break through sod--even hard clay--tilling down to a depth of 10 inches.

The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator makes it easy to maintain your garden. Simply reverse the tines to shallow-cultivate depths of up to three inches--it's much faster than using hand tools. And because it tills a nine-inch-wide path, this tool is especially useful in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. That's a real advantage for raised-bed gardeners.

Convenient, Versatile, and Durable
The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator features folding handle bars which make it convenient to store in a garage or tool shed.

And with the included border edger accessory and optional attachments (sold separately), the Mantis tiller can be used beyond the confines of your garden. Its lightweight design, convenient carrying handle, and adjustable kickstand make it portable, so adding an accessory such as a hedge trimmer could potentially keep you busy all summer and into the fall.

The tiller/cultivator's durable one-piece cast gear box is designed to last. Additionally, the tines are guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of the tool.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mantis 7225-15-02 2-Cycle Gas-Powered Tiller/Cultivator with Border Edger and Kickstand (CARB Compliant)

Customer Review: It's a great machine
Summary: 5 Stars

I should have bought this little tiller thirty years ago!

Delivery was pretty fast. Assembly took less than 20 minutes. Do not tear off the cardboard "box" that the motor assembly sits in. You need this box to stabilize the unit while you are bolting on the handles. (Ask me how I know!)

The kick stand is nice, but if you leave the unit running and resting on the kick stand, it wants to vibrate the kick stand into the folded up position. I just turned the unit off when I used the kick stand.

I am a medium size woman and am thrilled that this unit is so easy to get running. I thought it would be strenuous to start because of the pull cord, but it isn't at all. The little button that you must depress to engage the tines is tricky to use because you must keep the button depressed as long as you engage the tines. It is very easy to let go of the button, thus disengaging the tines. I will either tape it down or try to get used to it.

My beds are raised, 5 X 12 foot, edged with white cedar. I was afraid the tiller would be hard to manage and I would risk hitting white cedar with the tines. But the tiller is very easy to handle, I did not hit the cedar once.

I put the tines on for tilling the minimum depth. It tilled my beds beautifully, and didn't try to get away from me and till way down to 8-10 inches. I only wanted to till the top four inches, which it did easily. My beds had clods of mixed loam and clay with a thick winter rye grass (8"tall) in the clods. The Mantis tore through them with very little effort. It wanted to bounce on the bigger clods (two gallon bucket size clods), but it did break them up into pea sizes. I tilled four beds in less than 30 minutes, taking time out to rest in between beds.

The throttle works really nicely, I could run it at slow speeds easily.


If you plan on using the edger blade that is included, I recommend purchasing the wheel that goes on the other side of the tiller assembly to help stabilize the tiller. We have an edger already (another brand) and it is impossible to use without the guide wheel.


The literature says that two stroke oil is included in the box, but it wasn't. We had our own stock of it, so it wasn't a problem that it was missing.


My only "gripe" is that the weed reducers cost an extra $10. I feel they should be included in the cost of the unit... they are only small wheels of plastic (which cannot cost more than 50 cents) and are so functional they should be included with each tiller.
