The TSC MiddleBuster I bought did not come with a Subsoiler point. The threads about laying wire and water pipe with a Subsoiler have fascinated me, and now, a friend has some old water pipe to replace with plastic. So, this is the perfect time to make a tooth for the MiddleBuster frame.
One thing I've noticed is that many of the dedicated Subsoilers have a longer piece of main vertical flat bar than MiddleBusters do. I guess that allows them to cut deeper into the dirt.
The heavy flat bar on the TSC MiddleBuster is too short to just put a tooth on and expect to cut more than about 6" deep. I can't make the flat bar longer, but I made the tooth long enough so it just clears the ground by a couple inches with the 3PH all the way up.
It looks a little unconventional, but I'm anxious to see if it will work to lay water pipe 12" or so deep.
