Mantis Tiller Blades: How To Keep Them Sharp And Working Properly

Here are some additional tips for keeping your Mantis tiller blades sharp:

• Sharpen the blades regularly. A good rule of thumb is to sharpen the blades every 20-30 hours of use.
• Store the blades in a dry place when they are not in use. This will help to prevent them from rusting.
• If you strike a rock or other hard object while tilling, inspect the blades for damage. If the blades are damaged, they will need to be sharpened or replaced.

2. Heavy-duty tines: These tines are designed for tilling hard or compacted soil. They are stronger and have a longer lifespan than standard tines.
3. Cultivator tines: These tines are designed for cultivating soil. They are shorter and have a wider spacing than standard tines, which allows them to break up the soil without disturbing the underlying layers.
