Slicker than a Yes album.
Hopefully you will get some drier weather, but I have a few hints. If it's still wet beyond wet, lift the front gang of your DMI so just the shanks rip. Do you have those intermediate teeth in front of the main shanks? If so, take them off. Our 730 just turned into a dump rake with those on. You didn't say what part of the country you're in, but if it freezes/thaws a lot, that will help matters. Even if you only rip 6-7 inches deep, it'll turn the residue somewhat to get a start in spring. Anything you try to do twice will plug the ripper. (Headlands, especially.) Keep watching at all times to catch plugs and if it does, just drag the pile around to spread it out. If I caught it early enough, I would just lift enough to let the plug shake out and keep going.
