Has anyone managed to retro fit or make work with the existing legs a narrower and lower disturbance tines more suited for direct drilling?

I have not used them but found them when looking for same thing

Those do look interesting, i like how they're just bolt on too.

But there would be better penetration and ability to drill direct rather then the wider standard point.

Yes definitely the standard point just runs along the surface in slightly dry conditions

Vaderstad marathon points will go straight on, around 25mm wide with a tungsten tile on front.Pan anglia sell their own cheaper version.
It will only DD into shallow sowing/ light soils or precultivated situations though IMO.
