It’s a high speed tiller/cultivator with serpentine tines that revolve at 240 RPM, twice the speed of most tillers. Weighing only 21 lbs. and 9” wide, it’s so lightweight and compact that it provides for easy mobility between and around shrubs, trees, flowers, or vegetable gardens. The MANTIS is powered by an Echo .9HP gas engine with recoil starter, with 36 sawtooth tines.

• Electronic ignition eliminates troublesome points and condenser. Super high voltage spark prevents flooding or fouling. More reliable starting and running.
• Unique centrifugal clutch engages attachments only when throttle is squeezed. This prevents the “runaway tiller” problem that so many gardeners have experienced with other tillers.
• Advanced, solid-state engine is almost completely enclosed in rugged housing. Vulnerable parts are thoroughly protected against abuse to assure years of trouble-free operation.
• Convenient engine shut-off switch located at your finger tips on handle.
