An innovative transmission design is what allows such a lightweight tool to provide heavyweight performance. Plus every tiller that comes out of our Southampton, PA facility is built with the lifetime service of the user in mind. Get the garden of your dreams. You can do it! Review: Still going strong after 6 years A very nice tool. Now 7 years. - But it's not. It can dive into big heavy clods and reduce them to powder in a few passes. Diving into clods won't be a regular thing. The Mantis will mostly be used for cultivation and preparing small beds here and there for annual flowers. The Honda 4-stroke starts very easily. You can't go wrong with Honda. CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN ALMOST 6 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS THING. It suffers the usuall small-engine neglect...It goes 6 weeks or more sometimes without running....BAD. I was having trouble keeping it running and was about to buy a new carburetor. But I just poured a half bottle of carb cleaner in the gas and now it runs like new. HONDA! It is a great tool.... my garden soil is now perfect and I will cross my fingers and put in more kale, cabbage, etc. Houston! You never know if the weather will turn out winter perfect as it often does. Sept. 20,2025.... Update. The Honda started right up after about 3 months rest. Works just as it didn't I've had it long enough so I don't keep it in the garage like something delicate. It's under a tarp on the back porch. Still starts right up... of course, Honda... So light I can carry it anywhere. Put in the back of the car. In no time it makes the garden look great and makes it just right for planting. And now in March 2020. Same opinion. Starts easily even after sitting idle for a month or two. Does a perfect job of getting new ground ready for beans. The two pictures on the right...only about 20 minutes apart. I'm glad I got it. Time has passed. I like it even more. It's so nice to crank it up and reduce our garden beds to powder in no time. Now and then I hit a brick; it bounds up into the air, comes down and keeps working. No damage. I will have to read up on mantises. Whatever they are they are tough. Started right up after a rest of a few months. Runs just like it did when new. If it starts to run rough or quits on you..... change the fuel filter. They cost very little on desertcart. Review: This is the best tiller available on the market - There's no comparison when it comes to Mantis! I'm a professional landscaper and can say, without a doubt, that this is the best tiller/cultivator you will ever use. My first one lasted 7 years of constant use, unfortunately I managed to destroy it by using gas with ethanol! Do not make this mistake! Make sure you buy manufactured fuel! Don't let the size of the tiller fool you, it has more power than any of the large ones I have ever tried. With the added bonus of being easy to transport to different locations and this thing never fails to start within the first two pulls. ## Features - Comes with a handy carrying handle - Entire unit weighs Only 24-pounds - Handle Bars fold down for easy storage - 2-year limited Warranty - Come with standard kickstand ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00N6X9VY4 | | Brand | MANTIS | | Brand Name | MANTIS | | Color | red | | Colour | red | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,992 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00615964133598 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 137.2D x 35.6W x 101.6H centimeters | | Item Type Name | cultivator | | Item Weight | 24 Pounds | | Item weight | 24 Pounds | | Manufacturer | SCHILLER GROUNDS CARE INC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 7940 | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 7940 | | Operation Mode | Gas | | Power Source | gas-powered | | Power source | gas-powered | | Product dimensions | 137.2D x 35.6W x 101.6H centimeters | | UPC | 615964133598 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MANTIS - **Colour:** red - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Power source:** gas-powered - **Product dimensions:** 137.2D x 35.6W x 101.6H centimeters ## Images ![Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator, red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616LFCVBa-L.jpg) ![Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator, red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CR1FH1jXL.jpg) ![Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator, red - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Lnyj2Ds0L.jpg) ![Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator, red - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PdeLrb2NL.jpg) ![Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Gas Powered Cultivator, red - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1QtfdistPL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What type of oil does the 4 stroke use?** A: It uses 10W-30 4-cycle engine oil. **Q: Does this come with the 2.7 oz. of 4-cycle engine oil necessary to fill the oil tank/chamber?** A: Yes **Q: Has there been any issues with the push button wearing out?** A: Have only had mine for one season.

Will this work for my situation?** A: It is small but powerful and can handle rocky soil and clay. You'll be amazed at just how well it can dig. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still going strong after 6 years A very nice tool. Now 7 years. *by L***G on 10 March 2018* But it's not.

I'm a professional landscaper and can say, without a doubt, that this is the best tiller/cultivator you will ever use. My first one lasted 7 years of constant use, unfortunately I managed to destroy it by using gas with ethanol! Do not make this mistake! Make sure you buy manufactured fuel!

With the added bonus of being easy to transport to different locations and this thing never fails to start within the first two pulls. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the Best Small Tiller on the Market *by T***M on 11 June 2017* I bought the 2 cycle version of this tiller some 18 years ago - was the best smallest and deepest tiller on the market and was extremely pleased with it. I hadn't had much use for it since moving, so sat in the garage for 13 years unused until last year when I tried to start it again - obviously after all that time it needed some repairs and did remind me of it's particular starting method (choke, pull until it fires, choke off, 2 pulls and starts). However, after 13 years of disuse, it just wasn't working the same, so needed to replace it. Doing some more research, this is still the best option on the market for a small tiller that will till deeply. When I saw Mantis offered a 4-cycle engine (no more 50:1 oil mixing) using a Honda engine (regarded as one of the best small equipment engine manufacturers you can get), I decided to get the upgraded version of this tiller. Package showed up via UPS within a week of ordering it - faster than the expected delivery time they originally advertised. Didn't take too long to assemble it (attach handles and kickstand, really). Used it yesterday for the first time and works like my original did 18 years ago, if not even better with the 4-cycle engine. Very pleased with it. If tilling in heavy weeds, you will have to stop from time to time to clear the weeds that get wrapped around the shaft, but is relatively easy just by taking off the tines and cleaning it out. One concerning item is that it was tagged with a warning on the engine to avoid gas with ethanol, which is not an easy task since most places in Canada have now mandated 10% ethanol in gas...and many companies also use it as an octane booster. Issue with ethanol is that on some engine components (some plastics), it dissolves and picks up traces of the plastic molecule and when burnt, will gum up the carb and other systems over time. One upgrade might be a metal fuel tank as is likely the greatest exposure and don't see people draining the tank between uses. Overall though, very pleased with it... ## Frequently Bought Together - Mantis 7940 4-Cycle Tiller Cultivator Powered by Honda – Lightweight, Powerful and Compact - No Fuel Mix, Sure-Grip Handles – Built To Be Durable and Dependable - Mantis 3222 Power Tiller Border Edger Attachment for Gardening - Mantis 5222 Power Tiller Dethatcher Attachment for Gardening --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/316055815-mantis-7940-4-cycle-gas-powered-cultivator-red](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/316055815-mantis-7940-4-cycle-gas-powered-cultivator-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
