I was listening to public radio's talk show called "Garden Talk" where Jean-Martin Fortier was a guest, and he is the author of a book "The Market Garden". He and his wife have a very successeful business on a limited amount of land, and don't use a tractor. He recommended this tool. I have a Troy build Horse tiller that makes quick work of tilling. I deal with the weed seeds by solarizing with black tarps. It keeps the moiture in the ground,and the weeds germinate, but die for lack of sun. works good for me. I put a layer of compost on top of the soil, then the tarp, and let the worms do the work.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
