What is the height difference between now and the final grade? Pics would help.
If the water is coming from the road, would it be easier to put in a swale to catch the water and redirect it? I graded my ditches with a SCUT so a Zturn could be used to cut the grass instead of a push mower.
I think you might be underestimating the size of the job with a BX. Once the sod is removed, you only need to take off about 1/2"-1" of soil at a time, the BB will be full in about 20 feet. Great for spreading over bumpy areas. Watch out or tree roots, they will snag the scarifiers, and seem to sense the soft underbelly of the tractor.
