hi shaun
i watched the dvd i got in info pack ,the catch is you buy a mantis tiller if when the years up your not happy with it return it in original box get a full refund you pay for return delivery(which should work out cheaper than hiring 1 for the wkend)only prob now is finding the money roll on payday :)

you have to part with £300 and after 12 months you return the mantis in its original box and they give you your money back  :roll:
they are a tool worth having though but the honda one looks a bit more robust

Post by: Bigbadfrankie on February 07, 2007, 22:36

I would go with the Honda. not handled a mantis but it just looks like the one you would have if you could not have the real thing! every one to there own but not for me
