The Soil Warrior will do everything you are wanting to do - one machine. You don't need a disk-ripper for corn on corn. It does take some weight and air pressure to penetrate those harvest wheel tracks. It seems good to me to have some of the dry fertilizer not so deep but mixed into the rooting zone. We have a Summers Supercoulter that's used mostly for shallow manure incorporation in the fall, or in standing stalks prior to planting soybeans. It's a good machine, but here's the downside for freshening strips - SB stubble will get too black and for corn on corn you'll spread the residue, better to leave it standing and out of the zone. When you hit it the next fall you can mix in what's left. Good question!
