Mantis Tiller With 4-Cycle 22cc Honda Engine

• Contoured Sure-Grip Handles 
• 22cc 4-Cycle Honda Engine
• No Fuel Mixing
• Tines Spin Up To 240 RPM

The Mantis Tiller With 4-Cycle 22cc Honda Engine is a compact cultivator that’s built around a commercial-grade powerhead and a tough cast gear housing for dependable garden work. No gas-and-oil mixing is required for the 4-cycle Honda engine. The updated contoured handle with Sure-Grip gives you steadier control with a flush-mounted throttle and palm-controlled safety switch. Spring-steel serpentine tines are designed to spin up to 240 RPM for breaking up sod and working beds. Our crew recommendation is to keep this as your “grab it and go” tiller for quick bed prep and routine weeding.

This tiller is useful for starting new garden areas, cultivating between rows, and working around established plants. Flip the tines for a more delicate weeding/cultivating mode, then switch back when you need more bite. Mantis also offers optional add-ons that let this unit take on edging, aeration, dethatching, and more, so you can build a small tool system without dedicating extra storage space.

Product Tips

• Add oil to the proper level before first use, and avoid overfilling, which can make starting difficult and may lead to oil showing in the carb area.
• For best control, let the tiller warm up briefly before you start working the soil.
• Use the cultivating/weeding tine orientation when working near shallow roots, and the tilling orientation when you’re opening up new ground.
• If tines jam, shut the engine off completely before clearing debris.
• Store with the fuel tank emptied if it will sit unused for an extended period.

FAQs

What makes this model easier than a 2-cycle tiller?

The 4-cycle Honda engine eliminates the need to mix gas with oil, which simplifies fueling and reduces prep time.

How do the Sure-Grip handles help during use?

They’re designed for comfort and control, with a flush-mounted throttle, palm-controlled safety switch, and infinite speed control so you can fine-tune power while you work.

Can it weed around established plants?

Yes. The tines can be reversed for a gentler cultivating/weeding mode that’s better suited to working near existing plants and roots.

Why does it look like there is oil in the carburetor?

This commonly happens when the oil reservoir is overfilled, and it can also make the engine hard to start. Bring the oil level back to the correct range per the owner’s manual.

What warranty coverage comes with it?

It’s covered by A.M. Leonard’s 30-Day Down to Earth Guarantee and includes a 2-year limited warranty from Mantis against defects in materials and workmanship.
