I had posted a message earlier but really need clarification on one specific topic. Parts of my yard are in horrendous shape, and I've decided to start from scratch. What implements will I need to take an existing yard, eliminate what's there and start over? A tiller? Disk harrows? Blade? Spreader? Etc. What are the proper steps to do such a task? Time I have--expertise I don't!

Jonathan, define "eliminate", do you mean remove dead/dying grass& weeds, or are you talking about rocks and debris, etc. ? ....

Sorry... I was talking about existing grass, weeds, etc. There are also some uneven areas in my yard where I had a trench run for power to my shop, stumps removed, etc., so I assume I'll needs a blade to even those out.
Rocks are fairly minimal, although I'm sure I'll turn some up when grading. ....

Actually the easiest way to do it is to fill in the low areas and bring them up to where you want then just use a little Round-up and re-seed the whole thing well.
If you use a blade or similar method then you run the risk of stripping too much topsoil off a high spot and not having enough cover, then all you get is weeds there.
You can never have too much topsoil.
Best of luck. ....
