I like the stainless design!!! Wouldn't you want the rubber tubes pointed outward in their natural curve instead of curved inwards. Seems like it wouldn't be much benefit over a single drop hose. Only other thing I would recommend is maybe a skid plate on the bottom to take some wear instead of the tubing when the stainless tubes drag the ground. It would add a little weight also to keep them down in the rows.

what size of stainless pipe did you use(diameter and thickness)? Did you standard hose on the bottom or is it hydraulic hose?

How do you keep even flow between the 2 rows. I see no orfice or anything to to keep 28 going down one side of Y and not the other. Not trying to be critical but could see issues with uneven applications from row to row.
