So I currently have about 1 acre of my front yard that I round uped. My plan is to cut the rolling hills and level the land and resow. I have a Mahindra 4025 with front end loader, a 7 foot disc, and a rock rake.
My thought process is to buy or borrow a turning plow for the first break up and then disk it, rake it, and disk it again.
After that I would use the front end loader to try and level those hills. My question is is there a another implement that I am missing that would make this job any easier or work better? Maybe a box blade?
Also looking for any tips from someone who has done this before. The part that is already dirt is where I tried to just Diskit but that is way too rough on the disk I found I need to plow it first.

Disk the fire out of it then drag it with a drag harrow or land plane would help a great deal.


Then a box blade will beat the bucket for moving dirt from one place to another...... by a wide, wide margin.......


Then drag till you get it smooth, plant, and roll.

I've found a study-built, wooden pallet with a rock or two for weight can serve as a great drag behind an ATV or tractor.

Our yard looked like a pasture for several years, despite our constant efforts. Things haven't started to come around until we got a sprinkler system this year, which has made ALL the difference.

Plowing to loosen dirt to a greater depth or deep tilling followed by discing AND then using a harrogator will do wonders!!!

box blade with the rippers all the way down. will make quick work of it without touching the other attachments. maybe disc and find something to drag afterwards to get it perfect.

I'm hearing box blade as a reoccurring theme... Looks like I need to pick up one. What size will that mahindra 4025 handle? I'm thinking 6' regular duty.

6' should be fine. You might if a neighbor has one to borrow. They can really help to transfer a fair amount of material and leave a smooth surface behind if raised slowly.

I used a land plane and it did an excellent job. Now I can mow with a beer in the cup holder if the ZTR and not have it foam over.
