Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
I run mine the same as NCSULandscaper with a Cat 248. I make a rough pass first, churning, leveling and getting the big rocks out. I do this going forward with the box wings to the front. I might make a few passes in this manner until the grade is where I want it. Then I put the wing on the back of the rake and start making final passes in reverse, just skimming the surface to remove the rocks. Again, you might need to make a few passes depending on how many rocks there are.

I think there's a myth around that you can prep a lawn in one pass with these things, but to do things properly you might make 10 passes over some areas.
