You solved my first objection to tillage and that is the initial ground breakage. Plow it and then till it.

Tillage requires slow ground speed so that the tiller has time to mulch the soil. Slow means creep. Think about how fast you walk by/behind your garden tiller. Slow slow slow.

A 4 speed transmission on a '60's vintage tractor won't cut it.

All said, you should be much happier with the pulverization of soil with the tillage process.

I am told that you had better get gauge wheels with your tiller or you won't be happy with it in controlling depth for a nice smooth finish.
