Who said anything about subsoil?

Using a roller to try to level a lawn is the worst thing you can do if
there is any amount of irregularity in the surface level.
Everything you learn about turf care says "Don't compact"

It was a long time ago. It did flatten numerous dings though. Rollers can be home made fairly easily.

A similarly long time ago I levelled a lumpy meadow with a mower. I just used the spinning metal blade to rip into the high points. A bit crude but it worked. You don't need to sow anything afterwards, nearby grass takes over as long as the bare bits are mowed.

Of course there are other options, but the above does work.
