You need to fill in the holes with lose dirt and then smooth it out with a back blade reversed so it won't dig in. I've made a v-shaped self leveling device I can use behind Jubilee. That works the best, still need to have fill dirt. I also have a 5000# 5 ft lawn roller. That will help a little in the spring when the frost leaves and the ground is very soft or after a good rain. Disking won't do much.
I'm a landlord and have 10 rentals. You could say I'm in the landscaping business taking care of tenants drives and landscaping work. A large backhoe and bobcat will leave ruts and do more damage than they do good, so I got a Terramite, T5C. It only weighs 3100# and doesn't leave ruts. I can easily put a 1/4 yard of dirt in front bucket. Makes fast work of filling in ruts that cement trucks or tree trimmer's bucket trucks leaves behind.
I'm also into making dirt form neighbor's horse poo, AG lime, yard waste, mix in a little top soil. Stir up the pile, let it age. Like wine the longer it ages, the better it gets. I'm always in need of free dirt.
A friend needed some fill dirt, so he got some from my mulch pile. He was shoveling the mulch into a hole. He asked his son what are you doing? Son said, I removing the rocks. Dad said, Son those aren't rocks, road apples, and you better not lick your fingers when you are done.
I use my Terramite so much I got a second one, a T5D, so I don't have to trailer mine for one end of the county to the other. They are perfect for doing yard work.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
