I put the scarifier teeth down on my box blade and drag across them repeatedly. That's how I also work on sink holes in my fields with criss-cross patterns. The torn up grass seems to come back pretty quickly.
I'm gonna have the same problem when we bring the land clearning guys in later this summer/early fall after my wife recovers from her broken leg.My barn was put up during a snow storm and when they moved the trusses with rented machine they left 1 1/2 to 2 foot ruts. It could not be helped and now ground hard finally and grass has grown up. It is almost impossible to even brush hog. I managed to back blade with bucket near barn but I do not see how I can fix with with a box blade or a blade with the grass is very difficult. I do not really have the soil to fill in. I did manage scrap back few of them but was pretty tough with bucket. I thought about putting tarp down to kill grass and then work it up with bucket. But really slow process. If I am missing something please speak up.
I had ruts when I ordered gravel. One of the large dumps got off the driveway and double rutted about 100' of our "front yard". I put my bottom plow on, plowed up the area, put the tiller on and tilled flat & level.

And fix your drainage problem!I wouldn’t rip up the grass. Just bring in some fill dirt and fill the ruts.
