What would you use?

All the trees in the cleared area are gone, but of the total 20 acres only the 7 or so have been cleared, so I will definetly be puching some trees in the future, but for now I just want to get the weeds down and the grass up. I will try and post a pic tomorrow so everyone can see.

I have similar soil here in Georgia. I would bushhog it first, wait a couple of weeks, spray it with generic Roundup, wait a week or so, then harrow the mess out of it. After this, the grass etc should be ground up pretty good. Then I would work on smoothing it with the box blade or a drag. For a "drag" you could use a piece of chain link fence or even the top of a pine tree. I think if you start with the box blade you're going to get frustrated. Bahia has deep roots and you'll just be moving around big clumps of sod. If you don't have a sprayer you can skip that step, but I don't see how you're going to do it without a harrow on property your size.
