For our lawn installations we will scarify the lawn area with the Eliminator to rough grade and break the surface of the soil (depending on thatch we may cut out the sod first). We used to rototill but I found it too time consuming and not effective enough. We would then grade out the lawn with the grader bar. Top dress and grade again and then hand rake. I've gotten pretty good with the grader bar. There is about 10 to fifteen minutes maximum on 3,000 sq ft of grass assuming the area is large enough for me to do some figure 8 turns and the such with the Dingo and grader bar.
Thanks JWholden for the picture and the feedback, I like the idea of topdressing lightly and then using the soil cultivator to mix the new soil with old. I'm assuming travel speed is similar to using a rototiller or hydraulic attachment on the Dingo (relatively slow).
We'll have to see when I demo one. I'd like to find a used one, it would make my decision easier.
