Amazon.com Product Description
The Mantis weed reducer cuts back the amount of stringy weeds that could wrap around the tine shaft of the transmission. If weeds collect on the tine shaft, this pair of weed reducers make it easier to remove them. They install quickly on the tine shaft of any Mantis tiller/cultivator.
Customer Rating: Summary: Work OK 2008-07-04 Comment: These are pretty good at making it easier to get the roots and tangles out of the tines. They aren't as good at keeping them from getting there in the first place. I don't think there is a solution for that - it's just the nature of rotary tines and long, tough, fibrous roots. I think their main value is that they keep roots from becoming tightly wound around the tine shaft and seals that protect the transmission.

Customer Rating: Summary: Should have been included with the Mantis tiller 2008-06-30 Comment: I bought them along with the tiller. I had a lot of weeds in my yard and a few times these weeds got tangled up aroung these reducers(rollers) but the Mantis never stopped working.
I 'd have given it a five star rating except the price is kinna high for a couple of plastic rollers. They should come with the tiller for free and why not because all new mantis orders come with a free kick stand now.

Customer Rating: Summary: Adequate 2008-06-20 Comment: I don't run my tiller without these so I don't really know how badly the weeds would tangle or how much more difficult it would be to remove the weeds. These do help to make removing wrapped around weeds easier but they aren't necessary for the tiller to work well. They are easy to put in place but do take a bit of jiggling to seat them when replacing the tines after cleaning.

Customer Rating: Summary: Mantis tiller weed reducers 2008-05-27 Comment: These provide longer use of the tiller and prevent tine restrictions due to root entwinement. Most useful on infrequently tilled or new gardens. It is an attachment that should have been included by Mantis as a component of my original purchase since it is both effective and necessary.
