I believe you"re going to be quite pleased with that set up. It won"t be able to employ draft control but that"s no big deal. I have a Brillion 3 shank subsoiler that uses the same type parabolic shanks, 1" in width, and 2" ripper points. I pull it (3 pt hitch) with 54 drawbar HP at about 3 1/2 mph. That"s 18 HP per shank. About the same as your M with two shanks. Don"t worry about hitting rocks with it. My bet is that that thing has hit plenty of rocks. At the slow speed you"ll be travelling and the weight of the tractor it won"t be a problem. Here"s what will happen. If you hit a moveable rock the shank, due to the parabolic design, will tend to pull the rock up and out of the ground. If you hit an unmoveable rock, it will stop the tractor. Either the wheels will spin or the engine will stall. I"m betting, unless you have extremely light soil, that you will only be able to pull it about half way in on the first pass. as your soil becomes more mellow, you"ll be able to pull it all the way down. One problem you"ll have is wrap around material if your fields are trashy. Consider discing the field first if that is the case.
