I have about a half acre of lawn that needs some help. There is current a mix of grass and weeds and not enough top soil. I currently have a Kioti CK20HST with loader and backhoe. I am trying to determine if I can fix the lawn and if so what attachment/method would be best. I was thinking a tiller could be used to till the yard and then replant new grass seed, while also adding in more top soil. Will a tiller chew up the current grass enough leaving a smooth soil base or will there be grass/root chunks everywhere? Also thought of just spreading alot of top soil on top and replanting the grass. I did this is another section and it worked ok but alot of hand raking was needed after spreading with the loader bucket. Maybe do it this way but get a landscape rake to spread the new top soil and rake it out? Any other thoughts or ideas. I can hire someone to do it, but I thought I could use the money to buy a new attachment (toy) instead. Help? Thanks in advance. Eric
