Wow, I've never, ever seen any trip..!! How deep are you cultivating, or what shovels or sweeps are you running..?? Most cultivation levels are at around 2"- 4" depending on the situation.

That being said, I'm thinking tacking the shank not to trip, will just bend the shank, or next weakest link. JMO...
