Around here no matter what you use, you kick up rocks.
Disc harrows in my experience do not do much to level the ground. They are good for chopping up sod clods to a certain extent but that's about it.
Pound for pound the best type of tillage tool for smoothing land is a spring tooth harrow, what we call a drag around here, but nobody makes them anymore. All you can get are field cultivators which don't work nearly a well due to the frame being so high above the ground. Chisel plow is basically a coarser version of the field cultivator. Unfortunately none of them work well in green sod.
By far the best land leveling device is a simple beam or pipe dragged along behind the the disk or drag or even by itself. The heavier the better. Our fields were never smoother than after being over them twice with a disc-drag-pipe combination.
The best way to deal with sod is to moldboard plow it, but unless you're doing the entire field, that's probably not an option.
