My implements listed in decreasing utility:
1. Power Harrow - Makes great seed beds in the garden. Makes great seed beds in my lawn, too, with a much shallower depth setting. No tiller jump, either when encountering rocks.
2. Flail Mower - Excellent for mulching grass, stalks and safely cutting dense grassy or wilderness areas. Only drawback is dealing with vine stuff like kudzu.
3. Rotary Plow - Wonderful tillage tool. Excellent at creating raised planting beds. No hardpan created. Good at turning under surface organic stuff, particularly after it has been shredded by a flail mower. No tiller jump, either!
4. Sickle bar mower - A leisurely way to cut down tall brush and small saplings. Idling along and cutting down stuff in a life is good manner.
5. Powered wheelbarrow - Mine is the simple, low-cost version sold by Earthtools. Several folks on this forum have built their own. Once you have a two-wheel tractor powered wheelbarrow, you wonder how you did without it.
6. Tiller - It is good for mixing mulch and soil. It is bad for tiller jump. I tend to run the tractor at just above idle when using the tiller so as to minimize tiller jump.
7. 38" finish mower with bagger - I found one for a song that was missing parts and got it running. It does a good job and I use it to dump clippings on the garden. The tractor-mower length is a bit long and not as maneuverable as a dedicated mower only unit so I don't use it all that much.
8. Chipper-Shredder - A great tool, I just don't use it all that much as the flail mower is my go to implement for most shredding work.
9. 28" brush mower - This mower puts a bit of fear into me every time I use it. This is the least favorite implement I have.
