Description
Product Overview
Lightweight, compact, and incredibly powerful for its size, the Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Tiller/Cultivator is built for both first-time gardeners and seasoned growers. Weighing just 24 pounds, it’s powered by a reliable 25cc Honda® 4-cycle engine that eliminates the need for fuel mixing while delivering enough power to break through tough, compact soil and sod.
The unique curvy tines spin at twice the speed of bulky, front-tine tillers, giving you the digging strength of a larger machine in a nimble, maneuverable frame. Whether you’re cultivating raised beds, preparing rows, or power-weeding around delicate plants, the Mantis 7940 is an essential tool for growing success.
