rp, As grinder said you will want to get all the topsoil removed. Topsoil will continue to rot and will settle. This is especially bad assuming you will want a concrete floor. You can make a nice pile of topsoil to use or sell later. It sounds like you have enough acreage to get fill from so you can build up the low spots with good clean fill. A few inches of road gravel on top of the fill will give you a good surface that you can use as is or top with concrete. I did this and mine is now ready for the building. Right now it looks like a 80'x60' parking lot.

An alternative to the top cylinder is to weight the blade. a few hundred pounds will help with cutting into the soil.
Have fun, Dave
