Description
Product Overview
Break new ground with confidence using the Mantis 16" XP 4-Cycle Gas Tiller/Cultivator, our most powerful and widest tiller yet. Powered by a reliable 35cc Honda® 4-cycle engine, this extra-wide tiller delivers professional-grade performance for home gardeners, landscapers, and hobby farmers alike.
Unlike traditional bulky front-tine tillers, the Mantis XP combines lightweight design (just 34 lb.) with powerful digging tines that dig up to 10 inches deep—perfect for busting through hard-packed soil, sod, and clay. With a 16-inch working width, this tiller gets big jobs done faster while still fitting through narrow garden rows.
Designed for convenience, the Mantis features ergonomic Sure-Grip handles, adjustable handle height, fold-down handles for easy storage, and a built-in kickstand for added stability during breaks. When it’s time to switch from tilling to cultivating or weeding, just flip the specially-designed tines around. Optional attachments (sold separately) let you aerate or dethatch lawns, making this a truly versatile year-round machine.
