I have both. The tiller is my attachment of choice to do these tasks.
Since I bought the tiller the disk has not been used. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Never owned a disk, but couldn't have done without my tiller.

I use a disc at the farm and a tiller at the house. I occasionally trailer the the tiller and my CUT to the farm but not often. If cost is no object, the tool of choice would definitely be the tiller.

I prefer to plow and disc. I think a tiller pulverizes the soil too much for the best seed bed.

I agree.. a tiller makes a large fluffed bed of soil.. something you have to almost roll before final use.. I plow and disc...

I see you're not the only one with that opinion, but oddly enough, on this forum is the first time I ever heard of such a thing; didn't know it was possible to pulverize, loosen, or fluff soil too much. In fact, the more pulverized it was, the better I liked it. That just made it easier to plant. Of course my planting was for vegetable gardens and as soon as I planted anything, I hand watered it right down the rows with a wand for high volume, low pressure, and that settled the dirt around the plants and/or seeds.
