Since your turning it under in the fall I would not cut the grass in anyway. The cut grass/weeds will plug the plow. IF you get your plow running correctly then it should turn the grass/weed under well enough to rot by spring. About any fall plowed ground will be better than the best spring plowed ground. The freezing and thawing will mellow the soil well.
Since your going to be planting mostly shallow rooted things next spring I would just lightly disk the ground and drag it down with a harrow. You can then sow your seed and lightly harrow it in. A few good rains and your crop will start well.
As for fertility. Get a soil test done to see what you need. IF you need lime to balance the Ph I would suggest applying it this fall before you plow. The plowing will mix it better plus lime takes time to activate.
In the ground your talking about will your Mahindra 4550 handle a three bottom plow???? If you have traction problems you can scoop some dirt/gravel in the bucket and help out.
