Bingo! Got two behind my shed. Gonna try that tomorrow.

I have one of those landscape rakes also, but i'm mainly concerned abount knocking down whatever large humps were left over, and filling in the low spots. My soil is mainly loam, a mixture of clay and sand.

John, I seen those York rakes but couldnt find one to rent to fit my garden tractor.

Seahawk, thats the method I used to grade it to where it is.
Guess I couldnt finesse it enough to get it smoother. It's tough with the short wheelbase of the loader I used.

What can I say, I'm a transplated New York City boy...
