Southeast MN | Rich,
First thing about yetters, they are not strong enough to be used as a rock rake. Yetters aren't designed to leave a 100% black strip, just get most of the big chunks out of the way to keep the row units from bouncing over clods. Here I like to clear the residue to help warm up the soil and end up with 10-20% residue on the surface within the row.
Mine are set about 1/4 -1/2" above the soil surface. When putting corn in sod stubble, the wheels just skim the surface. It's not unusual to look back and see only 1/3 of the yetters turning. In bean stubble, they are almost all turning every time I look back. In corn stubble the real action begins pushing stuff out of the way. Just don't want them digging in dirt. I have mine set for intersecting and the only time they plug is when a tree branch or stick will lock the teeth up (or when someone built a muskrat hut with the combine or chisel plow, you better lift the planter)
None of my experience is in wheat $tubble or with milo.....so your mileage may vary.
Give yetter a call, I've had good luck when talking to them about my setup and what I want to do.
