I've been keeping my neighbors 4-5 acre field mowed for the past 6-7 years. This spring, feral hogs got in it and rooted it so bad and all over that I couldn't get my tractor and bush hog in it to mow without dropping off into their root wallers. When I talked to the owner about it, he asked if I could possibly straight it up.
The only way I could think of was to completely harrow it up and smooth it back out, which I tried. I made two passes at different angles. Then I used my cross tie on back of the tractor to try it smooth it, but that didn't work, just dug trenches from the grass root balls turned up from the harrow. Then I tried my landscape rake and had a little better result, but still the same.
The only thing I can think of is to run a rotary tiller over it, but I'm open to suggestions.
I've posted a few pictures to better see what I'm up against.
Thanks for any and all help, I need it.
