Gotta love it...

I have a Mantis, 4 years now. Gotta love it. I can throw it in my trunk, takes up no storage space, weighs 20 pounds, tops, is easy to pull apart and clean, they guarantee the tines for breakage. Mine was $300. They include an edger attachment and you can buy other attachments.

We have a troybuilt and it's nice to see what they can do for a garden bed! You can check it out in the veggie garden forum under garden bed tilled.

Whatever you brand you decide on, make sure it's a rear tine model.
