Substitute for a harrow?

I ended up with haying use of 18 acres, unused for 3-4 years. There's a low area that has +/- 6" worth of knobs I'd like to smooth out. I'd really prefer to not do any disc or plow work since the extension guy says it's not needed. Is there something I could rig up to knock the tops off and then roll it, that would be time and money smart. If it really is smarter to stay with a "chain" or "chain link" harrow like the guy recommended, then I'll start looking. I am pretty good at fabbing things like this, but hassle IS money too. Thanks, Loren.

I had some ruts I cut in a wet spot in my hay feild, I used my 9-N with my box blade and nocked off the high spots. Then used a heavy drag I have ( 4 inch solid round stock 8 feet long abought 3-4 hundred pounds ) to level and fill in. Worked great throw some seed on and your good to go.

lc, I don't think a harrow would knock down knobs in a field that is in grass. The sod formation would keep the harrow from doing much good. Could you borrow a little box-blade? That might do the trick. BTW, there is another lc that posts from time to time but mostly over on the JD board. I can tell you are not he since he is a pharmacist and does not hay. Take care.

That's what I thought too. I figured to use a very light disc set as straight as I could maybe, then roll it. At least on this bad area. I don't know, a chain harrow with added weight might do it, the box scraper would be tough to use the ground is so rough now. I'd maybe end up with worse bumps from being thrown around since there isn't much "slow" on a 9n. I have access to a regular blade but would that be any good? The height is tough to get right as it moves constantly, maybe I could add an extra link for permanent setting. I think the uneven-ness is maybe why he suggested a chain harrow.

This made me think. LOL We used to use a blade turned around on plowed ground to knock the worst of the humps off. You might try that and just drop it full on the ground and not have to worry about height adjustment. If that didn't kknock them of then try the disk and then run the blade.
