I've had one for probably five years or more and have found a number of uses. It is currently attached to the rear of the 5' roto tiller in float mode to settle the soil. I even have made a handle for it to drag it around manually (which I don't recommend if you're over 20 years of age) as well as a hitch for pulling behind a garden tractor with no 3PH.
It works great for incorporating grass seed after broadcasting also. Can't say enough good things about the product at a good price point.
Edit: Yes, it even works great mounted on the 3PH.

Sounds good to me! I'll be assembling it today. Any tips on using it? Do you find it helps stacking some weight on it?

Never felt the need to stack weight on it. The only improvement on this attachment might be to add adjustable pitch (angle) to the teeth. That would let it shed trash better in some applications. Most coil tine harrows used in AG applications have this feature.
