A $3k purchase is takes up a lot of storage space, if it is used 15 minutes a year.

But, then a dragster costs more and is used less time!

If it is to get grass to grow behind the house, I would be buying hay, thinly covering the area every couple months until the grass looks better than a golf course.
Just a small veggie garden. Maybe 20'X40'

If the plow and a cultivator will do the job I'm all good with going that way. One thing that I'm concerned about with the tiller idea is that my land has an abundance of rocks so I'm worried I could destroy the PTO on the BX even with a slip clutch. Thoughts?
