Heavyweight tilling power in a lightweight, compact size. The Mantis 2-Cycle Plus Tiller/Cultivator with FastStart technology starts with less effort and tackles big jobs. Break through sod or dig holes for planting shrubs and trees. Reverse the tines to surface-cultivate and speed-weed around delicate plants and seedlings! Comfortable operation with flush-mounted throttle and palm-controlled switch. The over-molded grips provide supreme comfort even when using the tiller in rocky soil, and they are ergonomically flared for maximum wrist comfort and fatigue-free operation.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • Uniquely Designed Curved Tines - Mantis Tillers dig deep even into the hardest, instead of bouncing around like other mini-tillers. Optimizes weight placement for better digging power and less stress on the operator.
  • Compact Design - The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator is just 9 wide. Produces smooth, reliable power with no mechanical efficiency loss. Gets into tight places where big tillers cant go. Lightweight just 20 lbs.
  • Versatile - Reverse the tines to surface-cultivate and speed-weed around delicate plants and seedlings! Optional attachments for plowing, furrowing, lawn aerating, dethatching, edging and crevice cleaning.
  • Soft, Sure-Grip Handles - Over-molded grips for supreme comfort even when using the tiller in rocky soil. Ergonomically flared for maximum wrist comfort and fatigue-free operation.
  • Fold-Down Handles - Makes the tiller convenient to store and transport.
  • 10 Tilling Depth - Till up to 10 deep with the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator. Specially designed tines maximize digging power, creating the ideal soil for root and plant health.
  • Easier to start with FastStart Technology - a spring-loaded ratchet-coil that adjusts the piston and compresses the air while delivering fuel directly to the ignition point.
  • 2 year limited warranty

Q: What is the difference between the Mantis 7920 & the 7924?

2 days ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Neighbor! The Mantis 7920 and 7924 are nearly identical in power (both feature a 21cc 2-cycle engine), but the 7924 is the upgraded version. The 7924 adds the company's "FastStart Technology" for easier, 75% less-effort engine starts, and it includes a built-in retractable kickstand for easier resting and refueling.

Q: Photos appear to show users walking backwards???   In soft earth is that how most users work?

5 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Yes, due to the design of the blades (tines) and the light weight of the machine, the tiller digs into the soil by using resistance. Its not necessary to continuously walk backward, many users find it comfortable to stand in one spot, allow the tiller to walk forward and then slowly pull it backwards, allowing it to dig into the soil.

mantis tiller

I had a little trouble with some of the lock nuts but finally got them tight . Love it's small size. Used it for the holes for my trees before I planted them. Makes the soil clump free. of course, it worked up a nice garden. I got the extra tines and they made very nice rows and hills. love it

The Mantis is a work horse for smaller gardens and even expanding areas. Hang on tight while tilling up new areas. It will give you a work out and get the job done!
