A box scraper could work but the problem is with the sod. Chunks of sod are the hardest thing to try to level and also make the dirt hard to level. Same with rocks. What I would do is disc or rototill the 3 acres so all the grass is chopped up fine. Then just pull a drag around going in all different directions and it will level the field off. A drag can be as simple as pulling a big beam around like an old railroad tie. A heavy piece of expanded metal or chain link fence can make a very smooth level surface once it is close to being level. You might be able to rent a disc or rototiller to chop up the sod or get a neighbor with a disc to do it for you reasonably. Once the ground is worked up, it shouldn't be too hard to level. On the higher hills or mounds, you might have to work them deeper or go over them again so they can be leveled with the rest of the ground. Even if you had a Cat or a grader, without chopping up the grass, you'd have a big pile of useless sod you'd have to get rid of. Chopped up it is good to leave as it improves the soil, unless it has fairy rings or some other problem. I've done a bunch of landscaping. Hope this helps. Dave

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
