    Need Advice on Smoothing Field

    If you want golf-course fairway smooth then use what a golf course uses, a verticutter. This is like a flail mower that has vertical knives that go down into the thatch/dirt pulling up material. High spots will be dug deeper than low spots leaving the sod intact. It depends on the verticutter...
