Mantis 7940A Gas Powered Garden Tiller / Cultivator, Powered by Honda 25cc, 4-Cycle Engine

This is an extremely lightweight machine and does a great job. It has to be assembled. The fuel doesn't have to be mixed at all before filling. I'm familiar with USA made Mantis, so if my grandchildren ever need to get parts, they can. I'm also familiar with Honda and I am a fan from the mid 1970's. The motor is smooth running and easily started. I used an old Mantis in my 30's and tilled and maintained a one acre garden and dug a storm caller, too (shovel required-layer at a time). I am 65 now and this tiller is fun to use if you enjoy gardening of any kind. It easily will go down to ten inches. One blade got fencing wire wrapped around it and I thought, “Oh, no!” because it just stopped spinning. I turned everything off and laid it on its side to see and sure enough, the thick and stiff wire was wrapped in such a way that it caught the back shield. I barely grabbed the wire and it just slipped off like it was no big deal. I got a little tiny wrench and used it on the shield and it popped right back like new. It started right back up, no problem. This is a good tool.
