When I was a kid we would pull an unpowered chisel tooth harrow behind the tractor after we plowed and then disced, to smooth out the ground, remove/breakup clods and stones and other debris (grass/etc. would get caught in it) and sometimes pull a section of chain length fence behind the harrow.
I just finished leveling some of my acreage which had ruts and holes from thinning the forest. I also removed a lot of older stumps (from a clear cut 60 years ago). The purpose was to make it easier to mow the underbrush with my flail mower that would get stuck in those holes and ruts.
There is only so much you can do with a dozer and a brush rake (especially since I suck at it, not being a pro) - I removed the big stuff, but even after taking off the rake there are still some areas that need smoothing and there is still a lot of loose debris, especially grass.
I would like to smooth it out more, enough for easier mowing, but I don't need to work the ground for a garden, I just want to get rid of the dozer artifacts and it is 4 acres so I don't want or need to use a power harrow IMO. I want to pull something behind my 2 wheel tractor. I could rig something up with a section of chain link fence, but is there an unpowered rake/harrow I can get?
