At one point in my life, I founded a company called
"Grounding Systems Specialists". We pulled in am bcdst
array grounds, using a tractor towed plow.
All we did to accomodate burying the radial wire was to
braze a piece of copper tubing at the back edge of the plow
blade and pull the wire through that. The spool was mounted
on a bracket on the tractor, so it fed cleanly.
Getting the plow to bury was zero problem. Keeping it from
tunneling to china required upforce from the hitch system,
which was part of the design.
If you're trying to cobble-up a blade, it needs a keel which
imparts a down force. Suggest visiting an ag-implements
place, and learning from what you see there.
