Looking for some input on the best way to get as flat a surface as possible on my 1/4 mile flat track. I'd say 85% is real close but there are a couple spots that still hold water. The lowest spot in the middle where water pools is maybe 1-1/2" low but others are only about 3/4". I have a landplane for the tractor and landscape rake with gauge wheels. Not sure what would be best? The surface should work up easy after the winter and I have a heavy H beam with backhoe teeth that works like a heavy harrow. Is it best to leave it settled or work it up so it will be real loose to drag around. Maybe working it up and just pulling a drag harrow around or turning the harrow upside down? Like I said it's real close and I'm hoping to just level off the material that's there instead of adding more fill. I could add more fill though. Don't want to have to get a grader in and don't mind just doing laps and figure 8's leveling it a little more with each pass.
