Anybody using a Sunflower in-line ripper?

Been looking at getting into an inline ripper. Can anybody tell me their thoughts on a Sunflower?

I think the fact that the shanks are staggered a little bit will help it pull easier. I’ve got a Krause ripper, which is very similar, but the shanks are all in a completely straight line. Running at the proper depth for a complete shatter sucks the horsepower. From what I’ve been told, staggered shanks will take less hp, but may not be 100% as good of a shatter as straight shanks.
