I think you should have 2"x2" Square tubing sections welded/bolted to the bottom of your runners. The spoil needs a place to go. Below the angles will be smooth and what goes over them should fall in low areas.
I made my cutting edge height adjustable and put it about 3/4 in lower than the skidsThese are just opinions based on my build which works flawlessly. First off, that thing would have cutter blades on it if it were mine. They would protrude at least 1/2" below the sides. In the pics it looks like you have too much front and not enough rear lift adjustment. Material pouring over the blades is not a bad thing as long as it's not too much. You need to get that back blade engaged some before anything else can be observed.
Do you end up using the rippers often?Had a 36” oak fall in an old pasture early spring. Had removed limbs earlier and needed to work on the main stem yesterday. Grass and weeds now 4’+ tall. Used the LP to lay the grass down breaking most of the weed stems. Few extra paths for the many deer and turkey. Graded some dirt high spots too. Point being if made right not much buildup. Multi purpose tool. Has made many mowed areas smoother simply by driving over. Made for much better and safer walking around the tree to chainsaw on. View attachment 810486
