    Speaking of Mantis tiller.... I have used one for years...used it when 
another member of the family could pull the cord to start it.. I just CAN Not 
 pull cords on tillers, lawn mowers etc...arms weak  or I can't  jerk it just 
so or something...Anyway, What I am asking  is there a Mantis tiller that has 
electric start?  I  just know I saw one advertised  a few weeks ago. Now all 
I see is the pull cord ones.. Did I dream I saw this?
Also along this same thought..what about the battery operated weed cutters?  
I bought a weed cutter last year at Home Dep. that was suppose to be VERY 
easy to start  by pulling the rope..but for me it isn't.. just as hard to  do 
as the one I already had.. I use an electric operated one with an extension 
cord around  the house..or as far as the  extension cord goes... which isn't 
far enough for this place. This one is isn't very strong for the tough 
weeds....still have the *easy to start*  gas one I got at HomeDepot which i 
use once someone starts it for me...but then if it knocks off down at the end 
of driveway or garden I can't get it going again..most of the time.
Anyone  have experince with these battery operated  tillers and weed cutters?
