Not a regular plow a two bottom turning plow Shank All Purpose Plow
Turn all the soil to loosen it. Disc to level it out, drag, seed/fertilize, drag, and then sit back and watch it grow.

9208: best get some cold ones! Ploughing may be complicated so get ready!
Dead furrows just seem to happen!

Unless you have a cup holder on the tractor, then you could have a cold one while you do it. Just don't get on the road with the tractor afterward.

I am going through this exact thing right now. The Disc, while a great idea did not give me the desired results. It did not cut up the sod enough to give me a smooth surface. The turning plow was the trick. Mine is a single bottom. It seams to bring the soil to the surface and push the sod down. I then disk it a few passes. Followed by dragging with a chain link drag (I do not have an I beam). I am doing mine in about 1/2 acre sections because of time, and it is coming out really well. The stuff I did last year looks great this year. I have no problems with the old high spots not growing grass but I also have pretty deep top soil. Good luck!
