I've dealt with the same thing when the moldboard plow was not set correctly and or the results left sod on the surface after a pass with the disc. With the 3 pt disc on, I just rolled the bucket forward in the dump position and carefully scraped off the top into a pile that I later worked back into the plot.
I would never recommend using a bucket in that position given there is risk, but it came natural for me having been a dozer operator to use a cutting edge in that manner. Plus my old tractor/loader had so much wear, it would give if you hit something. It worked well, and when the time came, I used the pile to fill in a low spot, so I basically moved some soil indirectly to where it was needed.
Those clods of sod have a lot of soil in them and you don't want to lose that. I think the 3 pt tiller set like Loren said, would be effective as well, I've been able to do that with one of these on a pumpkin patch that was moldboard plowed with too much soil moisture.
Had another patch with the same problem, I moldboard plowed it again after the pass with the disc and that turned it all back under.
More passes may also compact the soil, or create the hardpan layer, which is always something to consider.
