Got a couple of large areas i'd like to keep looking smart - anyone recommend something for this job? Haven't even experimented just yet, maybe an upside down dutch harrow would be as good as anything?!

I use a 3m wide sim a box grader to level. Have just built a shallow scarifier out of a road plate and some carbide teeth like they use on a road plainer to rip up the surface. Would like a proper roller to put them back down again though.

I made one out of some old scrap heavy beams , rear one has bend it and connected to a ram,so when you pull ram in it leaves a camber on a lane
can also tip stone straight out of dump trailer straight into it

I don’t think the diesel does a lot other than make you hide every time a strange car comes in the yard when it’s raining 🙈 I tried it a few years ago, some bits that never got any went just as hard with plenty rolling/traffic.
