I am tilling large sections of my yard to fix ruts from cars that ran off the road into my yard.
I am using a small tiller and tractor. What can I do to smooth the ground after it is tilled before I plant grass seed?
Also, my tiller is not wide enough to cover the tractor tire tracks. Is this a problem?
Drag a piece of chain link fence behind the tractor. Weight it down with some lumber or a pallet...
Get an old shipping pallet, drag it behind the tractor, may need to stack some concrete blocks, bags/boxes of dirt or something on it.
Worked well for me.

If you have a powered wheel rear-tine tiller: There is usually a flap type steel guard covering the tines so you don't accidentally step on em (back of the tiller under the handles). I have taken a 6' long board and clamped it to this flap with c-clamps like a reverse dozer blade. With the tiller in reverse and you walking backwards, you can sort of doze material very quickly into a rough grade. Works great in smaller areas or places you don't want to drive something with any real power. Following that. use a drag of old fence or pallets as suggested.
