Kettle Moraine, WI | I am getting a sense and didn't look for it, but is a heavy harrow depth controlled by letting the whole harrow sections weight on the ground and it goes as deep as the condition allows? My experience is with tine harrows suspended on back of a field cultivator. There is a degree of float in the design of the assembly and the smaller tine diameter coil bends much sooner than a 5/8 inch tine.
Residue flow may not only be dependent upon flex of the time but less weight on the time to allow the flex for the time to "walk over" the residue with less bunching. How the harrow sections are carried may be what I missed in my thinking. The heavy harrow in looser, tilled ground would pull harder because it still seeking enough resistance to hold up the same weight. For what I want I may need to go with something more like this to capture my vision of how it would work ideally:
