Our experience with both the mantis and old small troy-bilt was that they 
were extremely convenient as long as you soil was rock free (which is very 
hard to come by here in the northeast).  Otherwise every small rock got 
caught in the tines and it was very aggravating to constantly stop and remove 
the rock and get started again.  

Also, they had (our experience was more than 10 years ago) two-cycle engines, 
like chain saws.  We've always had a hard time with them, not being good at 
getting the timing just right, and it was a pain in the neck.  I thought I 
saw a small tiller in the recent troy-bilt catalog that was not this type of 
two-cycle engine and it might be much better.   Jan Sacks
