I've used the mantis for digging holes and loosening the area around the holes for planting 1400 small trees. It's easy to lift into hard to get spots such as a flower bed to prepare a small area for new flower bulbs. Not to hard to get down 7-8" for veggie garden. Be sure to keep on hand a spare air filter element, grease for the gears, and a couple spare clips for holding on the tine assemblies.
