I've got a middle buster, which does great for tearing up soil. I was thinking about getting a bottom plow to turn the soil over instead of just ripping it up. I don't have a tiller right now (soon, hopefully! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif), so I'm wanting to prepare my garden (about 1/2 acre) using as much tractor instead of manual labor as possible.
So I went by my dealer today, thinking that perhaps I could just get a plow blade for my middle buster (the pointed blade just bolts on to the main ripper shaft). No such luck, although they did suggest looking at other dealers.
I have searched the forum here and done a couple of web searches and all I can find are mid busters (got one) and single bottom plows (which appear to be exactly the same thing as a mid buster with a different blade on it /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif).
Do I make do with the mid buster and wait for the tiller to properly prepare my soil mostly by tractor (time to plant here - can't wait any longer)? I don't want to buy a single bottom plow - my $$$ are going for a tiller, but if I can just put a plow blade on my buster and fake it on the cheap I'd like to do that.
