I had a fellow come over with his huge hydraulic disc to do my fields while I over came knee surgery. The fields look great but I see some places where he left me a few places with a ridge and valleys off to the side. I just need to knock the crown down a few inches into the valleys to level things out. Should I set my disc to be aggresive or least aggresive?

I would just leave your disk set up however it already is and make a few passes over the problem area. Then get a log and connect a chait to either end of it to create a log drag so that you can smooth it all down. With a small 5ft disk and an oak log, I've been able to smooth out some very rough land.

Slight bite on the front, and almost straight in the rear. Work shallow and at a good rate of speed. It'll be good enough to pull those 71s over.

Lab, drag ridges w/blade-grade box to valleys. chop ridge and repeat if neccessary.I don't kwow what kinda ridge you got?(get pocket eye level cheap home depot) W/pocket eye level gota get low to ground to look/check.when look good, then drag whole field w/rr-rail iron. make sure your valleys are not natural drains.You may cause unatural sink-hole looking standing water by filling valleys? my2cents
Also chain link fence makes nice smth/finsh job. valley fill make take 1yr. to settle/pack try to seed w/something right-away.
