  Where to start?

Box scrapers are sort of the Swiss Army Knives of landscapers. They'll do most things but maybe not as well or easy as several specialized implements. But you need these things usually if you're moving a fair bit of soil around from one place to another, re-grading etc.

As illustration of what Harvey mentioned: We have a camp on a property hadn't been lived in for a few years and then my wife used it a bit in the summer for some years. She likes meadows and wild flowers more than lawn. When we moved closer and started using the place regularly we started mowing mostly to keep the bugs down. Funny thing was that by the end of the first summer the meadow has turned into grass. What you get to a large extent depends on how often it's cut.

  Where to start?

The smoothing idea has been discussed before but I don't remember subject titles for an archive search.

The basic idea is that use of ground engaging implements will tear up what sod is there and if overburden is left on top it will kill what gets buried. It is feasible to remove sod from low areas or maybe cut it up fine with a tiller and then prepare a seedbed to grade. If the problem is extensive and surface rocks have to be removed as well, starting over may be easier.

I believe that Murf pointed out that a fair bit of top-dressing can be applied to lawns without killing the grass underneath. If that's done each year, mild low spots eventually level out. A heavy roller used when some soils are saturated may help lower high spots as well.
