A landscape rake with guide wheels is the best I've found for doing a nice finish. I picked mine up years ago when I was redoing 5+ acres. One of the best purchases I've made. Salesman commented that I could use it and probably resell it for what I had in it. I don't know, I'm not selling it
It doesn't get used a whole lot of hours because it does the job very quickly.
I've never been able to do a nice finish with a
FEL. As someone above commented, it's an acquired skill (that I haven't acquired). But it also depends on the type of soil and the condition it's in.
I also have a box blade. To me, it's useful for rough grading, the landscape rake does the nice finish, however.
