Portable gas power
Mantis puts a Honda 4-cycle engine in a 24-pound tiller. That is lighter than the corded tillers here.
What is missing
The listing we read does not publish width or depth. For $490, those should be stated.
Fuel and digging
Call 811 before you dig, stay clear of the tines and unplug or shut down the machine before you clear roots or stones.
