Wish I had a tiller attachment for the tractor. But too costly for once a year use. Most of work after the initial plowing is by hand. I leave rues far enough apart I can use the Echo to keep weeds at bay.

I have a Craftsman garden tractor I was thinking of getting a single bottom plow, discs, and possibly a rake for. I don't have a sleeve hitch but it's designed to accept one. I can probably get at least the plow and discs for $200-300 used and another $100-150 for the sleeve hitch. I know they don't compare to a CUT or SCUT level tractor but I'd really like to give it a shot. I've seen videos and talked to others online who've done up to an acre size garden with a setup like mine.
