Would you buy a new mantis tiller or no

[Flintmotorsports]

I am thinking of become a dealer and i was wondering how many of you would buy a new tiller and why and if no they why would you not want to buy one

thank you

I've had a Mantis for years, works nice for planting small gardens and other jobs like planting or digging holes for shrubs and such. I think the one I have is at the point I'm going to have to do some repair work.

Because of the equipment I already have, I would probably buy an Echo if I needed one (since I trust Echo), but the Mantis looks pretty good. So yes, I would buy it.

There sure isn't! And I looked at the specs and there is not that much of a difference there either other than the Echo weighing like 1.6 pounds more.

Now that's a strange statement coming from you, as big as you are on your Honda mowers. :shocked::confused3:

Haha yeah. :laughing: To tell you the truth, I didn't even think of Honda, just Echo. Yeah I would consider a Honda also. I think I said Echo because I see it in the 2011 product brochure, I don't really look at the Honda tiller a lot. But Honda, Echo, or Mantis would be a possibility.

AH, I think you need to take a look at the Mantis again, there 9" and 16" are both powered by a 4 cycle 25cc & 35cc Honda engines that's why I questioned your answer about you wanting the Echo.

Oh, OK. Yeah I didn't look at the engine brands. :ashamed:
