48 inch mower works great, even mows wild roses, buckbrush, blackberries, junipers, small oaks, etc. but I wish I had the 60 inch so I could get closer to walls and fences, especially the barbed ones.
Lister/middle buster/potato digger. More useful that I thought. Very helpful for ripping hard rocky ground before rotor tilling. Makes tiller work MUCH faster. This more I was using 14 inch auger to dig some planting holes for some mums my wife was planting.. Auger did not work as it was only 12-15 to solid rock and the point on the auger bottomed out before the augers teeth could dig in. I then tried the tiller but it was slow, cut too wide a swath and left too unlevel a surface.
The lister attachment busted up the soil quickly, went all the way to bedrock (multiple passes) and left the bermuda grass stems intact on the surface where they were easy to rake away.
The 14' and 30 inch earth augers are very usefull. If I had more dirt and less rock they would be great. The 30 inch size makes a good wide shallow hole just right for plant small beds of bulbs. The 14 inch is just right for trees, roses, etc. It also digs a nice size hole for burying dog poop.
The small bucket without teeth is useful for carrying things (hoses, chainsaws, pruners, etc) but I wish I had the LM bucket instead. It is so rocky here that the bucket is only useful for moving material that is already well loosened. I tried grading our gravel drive. Total failure though this morning I ran the plow attchment down some of the ridges to bust them. I might be able to move the high spots into the holes now. The bucket might have busted them up if I had the teeth; I don't know.
My vote for most useless is the rake. The tines are too widely spaced to rake leaves or small litter and too weak to move large gravel/rocks or large twigs from the trees.
OOPS! I forgot the forks. VERY useful. Loadng, unloading, moving rolls of wire fencing, steel posts, lumber picnic tables, feed sacks, concrete mix, large potted plants, used washer & dryer, and refrigerator, water hoses, downed tree tops (bent one fork a little), brush and blackberry vines, drums of water for water for newly planted flowers and fruit tees to distant to be reached with hose, etc.
