Getting a workout: Mantis Mini Tiller in America

So this Mini Mantis Tiller is a bit expensive $299 (You can get it cheaper here) but it does a great job around the garden and is comparatively light, so you don't have to worry about lugging around some big rototiller.

One great thing about buying from Mantis too is that the blades are guaranteed not to bend or break for life.
The engine hums wonderfully and starts easily following the basic instructions.

You can also get the mini mantis tiller with an edging attachment, as well as quite a few other attachments being available so that the tiller will work for a lot of purposes.
If you use the mini mantis for a few hours, you definitely will feel that you've been tilling the soil in both your arms and hands, but this tiller is overall very excellent for the job.
