NAA - Pasture advice needed

I have about 5 acres of pasture previously used for livestock. Good thickCostal Burmuda, but the surface is rough. I want to carve out a section for recreational use (b-ball, football etc).

Need some instruction on process...tried the blade and also disc, but it merely bounces on the top and piles up grass and is not helping the situation.

Any thoughts - I know I will need to get a couple loads of dirt to get smooth surface, but thought If I could smooth out the area this would greatly reduce what I need to buy.

Any suggestions from those who have been there before would be appreciated.

(FYI - the tractor is fully functional, but the NAA doesn"t have just a ton of HP/torque for heavy jobs.)

Disc harrowing will plow in your grass (as will a moldboard but around here they just make a big mess). To keep from packing the soil, you wait a couple of days for the plowed part to dry and disc again. On your little place you can do that numerous times and it just keeps getting better; clods get smaller and smaller and the grass just keeps disappearing.

Then wait for a rain and then wait for it to dry out. Take some old fencing material, bedsprings, cattle panel or whatever (preferable a spiked toothed harrow) and drag it across what you did. You're good to go.

Don't worry about killing the bermuda. It will love what you did.
