What I do is dig a hole with a spade run a knife up you'll find where you're compaction layer is. Mine was 6-14 inch layer so I ran 16 inch deep .It works if you get under you're compaction layer not running in middle of it. I'm running a Blue Jet 7 shank behind 7xx tracks and you're right where it pulls easy you probably don't need it there.
Thats how we do it. Usually find our layer around 10-11 inches deep and set the rippers to run just under that. I'm sure in places its 12-14" deep and in others its 6-8" deep but the average is always in that 10-11" range. We're pulling a Krause 8 shank set on 40" middles with a STX450 and at times its not near enough tractor for it. Sure does look pretty behind it when its set to the right depth though. | 
Can you go too deep with a inline ripper?
