3 ph tillers are very useful.I rate 3 point tillers right up there with tractor backhoes., or should I say down there. Tractor backhoes are tops for uselessness on my list however.
I've used my tiller (6" KK II) for more than just tilling the garden.3 ph tillers are very useful.

When we built our house I used the tiller to till the topsoil loose to build a driveway, makes the topsoil really nice and easy to work with to load out to prepare for rock. (Recently built a driveway to my son's house using the tiller, works great for that)
Our yard when we moved here was so rough it beat the hell out of you mowing. Set the tiller an inch or 2 deep and tilled the entire yard, then hit it with a lawn roller, made a big difference in smoothing out our bumpy lawn.
Could have fooled me. Useful for what? Sucking down expensive diesel fuel and agitating the ground as in deep tilling? Why do you think smart farmers went from moldboard (deep tillage) to no till crops? Simple answer. Deep tillage (and that is exactly what a rototiller is), is wastefull both in fuel and nutrient retention.3 ph tillers are very useful.
