After plowing and disking my garden, which was covered with woodchyck holes I used 2 old bed springs to even out the bumps. The old metal ones, not the newer box springs.

I'm trying to decide if I should plow and disk .6 acres
Or just till it in preparation for planting grass.

<font color="red"> Which way to go? </font>?

Till.

Pack back down with a packer or harrow - tiny seeds like firm soil.

Ag department of Saskatchewan has a great video on getting rid of gopher hills:

Mole Hill Levellers - YouTube

Most of these are mods of existing equipment. Typical machine is one spring loaded chisel plough or heavy duty sweep cultivator. Remove the sweeps and bolt a 4" to 6" grader plate (#8 bolts) Each grader attaches to at least 4 spring bars. Worth a look

Since you just purchased the property you could also chisel plow the field and destroy the under ground burrows. Just leveling the field is temporary at best as the pesky rodents will just resurface.
