I think you will be best off to get it plowed first.
Neither a tiller or for sure, a Harley Rake are going to work well in weeds, rocks, clay, and grass. You want to turn this grass and weeds over with a plow. Possibly the teeth on a box blade can do that plow work for you, after you mow it well and burn or remove the grass/weed debris.
Then, after the ground is worked up and spread (like with a box blade), the Harley rake will prepare a good seedbed and scoot the rocks and other heavy clods to the side. And as mentioned, a tiller may work up the plowed ground but will not remove the rocks or clods.
Wish you well.
