Pallet forks, grapple, front snow blade most used on FEL. Rear 3 point most used: Flail mower, box blade, inverted snowblower. Never used so I sold it, 7 foot rear blade.

When I have the loader on the tractor, the forks are there like 70% of the time, bucket 20% and no attachment 10% of the time.
For the 3 pt implements, I use the rototiller the most, then the brush cutter and lastly the carry all box. The spading machine just sits in the corner and will get sold eventually. The carry all box use went way down ever since I built the dump trailer. Dump trailer use is growing really fast and going up on the list every time I use it. I really should've done that thing a looong time ago.

FEL, Bush Hog and a Box Scraper. The Bush Hog is not sometime I use much anymore as the property is now mature, and more controllable with the little riding mower. Its pretty much now just the FEL and the Box Scraper as a counter weight.

For all around general (utility) property maintenance etc...The box blade is by far the most versatile attachment...Although it is a common consensus that box blades can have a steep learning curve*... A quality box blade alone can perform many tasks depending on the skill level of the operator...
* Having hydraulic top and tilt for the 3PH greatly speeds up and mellows out the learning curve and will save a new operator an enormous amount of time becoming adept and staying in the seat and not stopping, getting off ,making adjustments, getting back on the machine...
IMO...if a tractor is going to be used for any type of grading etc. on a regular basis...far and away the most utile modification that can be made to a CUT...I hydraulic top and tilt...

If you don't have a FEL... A dirt pan, boom pole and a back blade/box blade are a must..
Gardening a set of disc/tiller and or bottom plow.
Rotary cutter/flail mower if you maintain trails, brush or fields..
That's my top list

- New Holland WM25 with 200LC front end loader, filled R4 tires 43X16.00-20 and 25X8.50-14 (had a Kubota B6200D with dozer and R1 tires)
Oh, come on, what fun is that?
For me, it's a tossup between bucket and pallet forks as the most used. Least used would be my 3PT platform lift, which I think I have not mounted for 3 years now, and the poor thing's sitting out in the woods. But once upon a time I used it at least twice a week.
