Over 40 years ago, Mantis introduced an innovative product that would revolutionize gardening around the world – the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator; part of the Mantis lawn and garden product family. Before that time, garden tillers were big, bulky, heavy pieces of equipment, and tilling was not easy. Once it was demonstrated just how powerful and versatile this new Mantis Tiller was, even the most skeptical gardeners were won over. What competitors dismissed as a “toy” was nothing less than a lightweight, powerful, digging dynamo. The Mantis Tiller made tilling and cultivating accessible to millions of people who were unwilling or unable to tangle with old, behemoth rototillers.
