I want to use my newly acquired ripper to loosen the hardpan clay on my MX track so water will soak in rather than just pool. The ripper has 3 shanks and I'm wondering what is the best spacing to use? I currently have a tooth in the middle and the other 2 at the outside corners. I don't need maximum disturbance of the soil on top. I thought maybe moving the outside shanks in or even doing that and not using the middle tooth. Hoping someone has experience with ripping/subsoiling for better drainage.
