If your talking about the simple single shank three point subsoiler I have never seen them with a coulter. Most of them do not have a frame as such for a coulter to mount on. The shape of the shank makes difference too. The parabolic ones, with the big curve, the coulter does not do much good with chunks and such but will help keep trash from building up. The straight shank ones where the front face is right at a 90 degree angle to the ground then the coulters help a good bit. They will disturb the surface less.
Keep in mind you should be using any ripper when it is dry. You need to lift and shatter the hard pan. IF the ground is wet then you will just cut groves in the ground and can actually make the drainage worse. The straight shank rippers require more speed to get as good of shatter compared to the parabolic ones but the straight shank ripper will leave a smoother surface.
Running amole behind the ripper shank only helps if you have some where to start that allows natural drainage to happen. Meaning like backing up to a creek bank and starting out. The "mole" will make a route for water to drain. If your starting at a level surface the mole will do little if any good.
Always subsoil ground like the water should drain too. Think like you where going to run tile lines. So if you go across a ditch finish by running once up the ditch so the water brought into the ditch can run out. IF you do not you can turn your field into a wet area.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
