Nice looking rig.
I see two potential problems:
* The 'feet' are quite large. They could create their own 'plow pan' below the existing one.
* Wouldn't the following disks clog the new water paths?
Out of curiosity, how much horsepower was needed to pull all that through your soil?
seems to me, the implement would be better without the rotary hoe part behind the rippers.
with the rotary hoe on the back, it seems the newly ripped lines would be covered with dirt after 1 pass.
