Rotavator/tiller
« on: September 05, 2016, 16:11:10 »
Could someone please recommend a good lightweight tiller? Not electric, a petrol one for the allotment. I would prefer a 4 stroke but am not very strong to lift it in and out of the car

Thank you Johnny, I will put that on my list to look at.  I too have a spine problem but one the heavy work is done I have no problems.  Thanks again : :icon_bounce:

I have had a Mantis for quite a few years now and I am well pleased with it as well.   There are a number of attachments available and it folds up easily to put in the boot of the car.   Their website does have some videos of the machine in use - https://mantis.uk.com/
