Mine arrived today and DH spent most of the morning assembling it. Unfortunately the plastic choke handle was broken but they are putting a new one in the post.
Does anyone use a Mantis tiller? Our heavy old rotovator is too much for me to handle and I'm dying to get cracking with this lightweight model.

Yes, we do Merlot. However, its himself's toy. It coped pretty well getting the heavy Herefordshire clay ready for the vege garden last year. Not sure it would cope at moment though, everything is so so wet!
Hope you have fun with it.

I tried using my Mantis tiller, keystone cops wasn't in it smile I had to give up until a friend used it in the garden for me, my hubby had always done that for me, but he passed away December 20th 2011, just goes to show you don't realise the things that are done for you
