Schiller Grounds Care 7920 Mantis 2-Cycle Tiller Cultivator

As a first step, I want to state the following There is no error in the computer, and I owned an earlier model for over 20 years so it is not an operation problem. It is not disclosed on the listing that Amazon does not allow refunds on this purchase. This set of instructions was so hard to follow that I could have Mantis, thanks for the comment In what way do you mount handles around an engine when it has already been bolted When hand tightening nuts they will not hold up to the vibrations of a tiller. So how long before this falls apart? Maybe you could help explain how you should keep parts in their original containers when you have to open the new one to read A 20 years ago, I had one of these tillers and loved it, but I ended up giving it away. It's possible that I'll be returning it as well. We'll have to see if YouTube has any instructional videos on how to assemble this.

It would be my Mantis any day of the week, if I had to pick between my big tiller and this. A second Mantis has appeared in my life. I am still running the first one I bought brand new more than 20 years ago. My old one has been given to a family member, and I purchased a After I assembled it, I was ready to get out and start it up so I could plant early in the spring. The first time I tried to run it, I had a hard time, but it was just In comparison to my old Mantis, which had handle design similar to a bicycle, these are far more comfortable to grip. I was able to easily and quickly prepare a new flower bed using it since the power is quite high. This is my second Mantis but I'm hoping this one will be as good as my first one. I can no longer dig the way I used to, so this 60 year old woman requires.

There are 6 ounces in each. The amount of 89 fuel per gallon is 6 oz. am very pleased with this machine, it is far better than I had expected. Assembling this item was a breeze. It didn't take me more than 10 minutes to make mine! The Honda tiller 23cc is a cheap and enjoyable tiller, but quickly breaks down and the handle is uncomfortable, so I searched for a replacement. I found the Mantis tiller at a local store and bought it. It is very comfortable to hold, and you will not lose grip, if you swear you won't. It has a kill switch and safety switch on the grip that I really appreciate. Despite its size and weight, the mantis is easy to manipulate. It must not be too small nor too large where I am unable to reach certain areas. Considering both the power and efficiency of a 2 cycle, I find the latter a superior option. You can cultivate it or till it very easily. It certainly can take a beating, as I couldn't see any rocks that could possibly stop this machine. And cleanup is a snap after it's done. The Mantis is a fantastic product and I would highly recommend it.

It is an ideal machine for the average home gardener, or someone who has a small homestead. The instructions for assembly are so easy that you could even understand them if you didn't know how to do it. This is a lightweight, easy to carry lawnmower that allows you to easily move from store to garden. If you don't like toting, fire it up and lightly depress the throttle, and the tines will walk themselves. However, they will dig a bit. The method is probably not recommended, but it works for me when moving about the garden. The fuel consumption seems adequate I can till my whole garden using a tank of fuel or less. I was also surprised by how quiet it was. As I like to till deep, the Mantis is great for that just remember not to pull it toward you like a conventional tiller, as it takes practice to follow a straight line for wide Make sure the machine is rocking back and forth and angled a bit in the row to dig deeper. The tiller is everything I had hoped it would be, and I wish I would have purchased it A MEDIA UPDATES We installed an inground pool this spring and left behind a lot of leftover dirt. Solution, use this dirt to repair the damage to the lawn and fill in low spots around the yard. Problem, that's a lot of dirt. Problem, it's hard to move. I use my handy dandy Mantis tiller to handle the job. We found it to be so lightweight and portable that I can easily work it on these mounds of clay and dirt, break it up, and tuck it into our UTV bed and transport Despite the fact that it's a beast, I'm working the hell out of it.

I have tried to re-enter about twice now before I gave up Having thatched and added soil, fertilizer, expensive seeds, and countless hours of labor onto the lawn, we discovered that the grass would not grow over so many dead roots under the ground. We then dug out all the roots and re-sown them. In areas that were seeded, the results were better, but in other areas the results were no better. I wasted countless hours of work due to this little Mantis that did the whole thing in fewer than four hours. It was easy to start, light enough to move anywhere I want it to be moved, and has such amazing power! My dream about two months ago would have come true if I had this. While there is still a lot of work ahead of us to reinstate the beauty of our lawn, that is I greatly appreciate what you did,.

Delivery was on the next day after I ordered it from Amazon. Got it up to The engine started up pretty easily with just 1 oil mix. Someone who has trouble starting this probably does not know what they are doing or has never owned a chainsaw with a 2 cycle engine. The assembly took a little while and a socket wrench would have been helpful. I bought this to help me dig trenches and loosen the Trying to remove tree roots from dry clay with lots of hard By doing this, the soil is very loose so that I can go back and shovel it. Although it's a workout, it's still quite challenging. The ball will bounce when it hits something solid like a rock or a You will not be able to cut a root of 1 inch in diameter with it. It wasn't supposed to work out like that. Lops are the best tool to use for this. The purchase seems to be going well for the time being.
