Funny thing...... last night I was talking to my 92-yr-old dad..... he had been doing some yard work, redoing a drainage swale around their house (pretty flat lot, they get runoff from a wildlife area behind their house). He mentioned that he had gone to Lowe’s and bought a Mantis tiller to do the work. He said, “Here’s something pretty nice about this one...... it has a small 4-cycle engine and it runs like a champ.”
I mentioned to him that I have a 4-cycle engine on a Dolmar blower that I have and would love to have one on my Mantis, and the old him that I needed to order a carb for the Mantis. He said, “Hold off on that. I’ll be finished with this one pretty soon. I’ll just donate this one to you.”
First off.... everything I am as a man came from my dad.... my love for being outside, my mechanical competence, my love for running just about anything that has an engine, etc. I thank God for him, and I also thank God that at 92 my dad can still give a Mantis tiller a good workout!
Looks like there will be a 4-cycle Mantis tiller in my future!
