Need ideas for yard flattening drag

You might be a Redneck if you use an old fashioned set of bed springs to smooth out and level your yard but it will work. Been doing it for quite a while. My Kubota riding lawn mower does a great job of pulling it.
Eddie Walkers method of using a log with heavy duty cyclone fence attached also sounds like a great idea.

I did a minor re-grade of a section of my backyard a couple of years ago. I caught it during mud season and rough graded using my ATV and snowplow. I made a drag out of a 7' wide flooring pallet stacked with a few cinderblocks and some rope. Worked great.

This time around is harder because there is established grass. The irregularities are small, so the lawn looks good from the street, but is lumpy underfoot. The ideal solution is to run the whole mess over with a harley rake, but I don't want to run a heavy machine over my leachfield if I can avoid it. It's most likely fine to do so, but that 1% chance of damage would be really expensive.
