Okay, I've been waiting for my local tractor supply type place (Gebo's) to get in a subsoiler. They still haven't but they got in a middlebuster. I went ahead and bought it and switched out the shank to a subsoiler type chisel point. I asked them what the difference was between the subsoiler and the middlebuster because the middlebuster was $106 vs. the subsoiler was $129 and they didn't know.
Looking at the king kutter site it looks like the difference is that the subsoiler is a little longer than the middlebuster. (other than the point which can be switched out of course) Also it looks like the angle on the middlebuster point might be a little more than the angle on the subsoiler.
Per the specs on their site the subsoiler also weighs 114lbs vs the middlebuster at 80lbs.
I'm trying to decide if I should return the middlebuster and wait for a subsoiler or just keep the middlebuster.
Right now I plan on using it for burying some drip irrigation lines. Our frost line is 12" here so the subsoiler would actually be able to get the lines down below the frost line and I'm not sure if the middlebuster would or not.
I'm leaning toward just returning the middlebuster and waiting on a subsoiler or driving 50 miles to another Gebo's and getting it there (it shows to be in stock there but I would call before I went to make sure).
Thanks for any input.
