Crank up the guage wheels, let the sub soiler weight, be carried by the tractor, the down pull of the shanks, will help with traction on the tractor. You can easily control the depth inside the cab. He was using that anyway, in this video, when it pulled to hard.
You were probably just wasting your time and money. If you subsoil when it's wet, the hardpan won't fracture. The shanks will just create a slit in the hardpan, which will seal right back up almost immediately after the shank passes through.
They are a no-til shank and work well. It would probably be even better if the legs were a bit closer together. Sure makes the 83 work.
You are right, not the best for the soil but our top soil is not very deep to shingle so we achieved to drain the laying water in this instance.

It was wet, but it was late Autumn and we were running out of time, so just pushed on.

Tire pressures on that tractor are too high its slipping alot even for how wet it is.
WAY too wet to be subsoiling.
just because an 8330 does a wheelie doesn't mean it's compacted does it LOL
