Background and Identification

The Mantis Tiller 7940 (2017) is a lightweight, compact tiller that is optimized for both portability and fitting in tight spaces. It features a 4-cycle engine for additional power and uses a worm gear transmission for quick and powerful tilling. The tines on the Mantis Tiller 7940 spin at 240 RPM. This is achieved through the position of the engine and transmission, which are located above the tines, resulting in a mechanical advantage. The Mantis Tiller 7940 is designed for both garden cultivation and weeding. It has a tilling depth of 10 inches.

Additionally, Mantis makes a range of tiller attachments that allow this device to do more than just till. With the right attachment, it can be converted into a lawn aerator, plow, planter, dethatcher, edger, etc. This device has a two-year warranty. The motor has a separate warranty from its manufacturer.

The Mantis Tiller 7940 (2017) includes tilling technology housed under a shield. This is connected to a motor and outwardly extending handles. The device is designed to be pushed forward using these handles. The Mantis Tiller 7940 is mostly red and silver in color.
