Mantis XP Tiller/Cultivator The Mantis XP Tiller/Cultivator brings the same hardworking virtues, versatility and ease-of-use features of the Mantis Mini-
Tiller/Cultivator to a wider tilling unit comparable to larger mid/rear-tine tillers at a fraction of the size and weight. Weighing only 34 pounds, the compact Mantis XP utilizes the power of a 35-cc Honda 4-cycle engine to spin Mantis' patented serpentine tines up to 240 rpm — easily busting through sod and the hardest, most compact soils up to 10 inches deep in a 16-inch swath. The XP utilizes a dual tine bank drive shaft that provides for exceptional control and maneuver- ability at a wide cut. Mantis/Schiller Grounds Care, Inc.
