So I'm getting a tractor. Since I've been working plots for my Quad I have a basic understanding of implements. But I want to start with the tractor basics to get a full understanding of exactly what I will actually need and when I should use which one with a tractor since the my capabilities will go up much more.
What do you use for the following?
1. Tillage:
Disc, plow, roto tiller? If you have more than one how do you choose which one you will use for what purpose? I'm thinking I will get a roto tiller right now and will always have my nice 48" ATV disc that tears stuff up good.
Something like this: http://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/king-kutter-54-in-xbx-rotary-tiller/0000000076964
2. Fertilizer Spreader:
I'm not sure about this one. On one hand a 3 point one would be nice. But a pull behind one would be great because I could still use it with the ATV on small plots and hooking up a drawbar with a ball sounds easier to hook up than a 3 point one. Not sure and looking for advice.

Important question: What do you guys use to spread small seeds over large areas? Say clover or brassica seeds? Do you still do those with a hand seeder or can you use some type of spreader like I show above? Walking a 2 acre plot with small seeds and a hand seeder sounds like a PITA.
3. Lime Spreader:
Still looking for something. TBD.
4. I was not planning on getting a drill. ????
5. I was probably going to find a cultipacker as well on craigslist. I have a fence drag that is a little small for the tractor but not sure how much I would use it with a tractor anyway. If I wanted to drag I would probably use the ATV anyway.
What else do I need?
