 Good for Light Work Nov 15, 2009
I had a Troy Bilt for twenty years and it was always a bear to start, 2 cycle machine. This is easier to start as a 4 cycle but it is not as powerful. It works well for light tilling, I have an old Troy Bilt Horse for the heavier work. I have used it the past summer and it has held up well thus far. IT is a light weight machine, it is inexpensive, and it can be used in gardens where the tilling is in reasonable soil. It will have difficulty in heavier clay soils as well as in rocky soils.
I waited a season to write this review to see how the machine fared. For the type of garden maintenance I use if for it was a good buy. The problem with Troy Bilt is that since their bankruptcy a few years back their parts are often difficult to get and thus self repair is a problem.
If you have heavy or rocky soils I would not suggest this machine. If you want a good light weight machine this is not bad.
On the negative side it runs at high rpm and the speed control is non existent. I did have more control over the 2 cycle machine.
 Please Read B4 You Purchase Oct 14, 2009
Many Problems. 1. Black Tube and wire wrapped drive shaft bent and broke. 2. Tines broke. 3. Handle broke off on the bottom where it attaches to the lower assembly. 4. More tines bent and broke and 5. The cylinder head moves back and forth when the engine runs and spews out the oil.
My Previous tiller was a NOMA that I purchased from Lowes and it worked 12 years without problems in the same soil. I could not find a NOMA so I purchased a Mantis because of their iron clad warranty and blemish free reputation.
Bad Buy Oct 13, 2009
Worst piece of equipment I've ever owned. Bought for light duty use, I have a full size tiller for heavy jobs. Engine dropped a valve in 15 minutes of use and locked up. Poor customer service and parts were back ordered for 3 months.
 did the job Aug 29, 2009
did the job, but I was hoping it would dig more dirt- I had to go over the garden about 3-4 times before it was ready.
Good Lightweight Tiller for Lightweight Jobs Aug 16, 2009
For lightweight tilling projects, this lightweight tiller does a good job. However, if you have a tilling project for a large area and/or involving compacted clay soil and/or soil containing roots and rocks and/or tilling soil planted with grass, then you are going to have to do a lot of heavy duty pick and shovel work before this tiller is of any use. Also, for this type of product, I would make sure that Amazon's price is considerably less than Lowes. Once you fill it up with gas and oil and try the tiller, forget about returning it to Amazon; while returns are straightforward with Lowes.
