Does anyone have suggestions on the style of S-Tines to choose? There appears to be three different styles of tines and three or four kinds of tips.
To reach 7" deep, which is max depth Gearmore specs, you will need points, i.e.: #1.
Tines 1-3/4" wide offer considerable resistance to being drawn through the soil. As tines flex and release, they resist going deeper.
Shovels, i.e.: #2, #3 are for shallow cultivation. While you show two Gearmore shovels, the Gearmore parts diagram shows only one shovel size: 7". Replacement shovels in various sizes and points are readily available from multiple venders on the internet.
All tips are readily changed on my equipment. Just remove one (specialty) Plow Bolt one nut and washer(s). Gearmore may use two fasteners per point/shovel.
I see only a single 1/2" X 1-3/4" size S-tine in the parts diagram, page 26.
