I just went out with a tape measure and looked at mine - I have both the subsoiler and the middle buster (yellow paint). The subsoiler shank is about 3" longer than the middlebusters'. The angle of attack of the foot of the subsoiler frame is shallower than the foot of the middlebuster - the middlebuster plow stands up at a higher angle. The bolt spread on the subsoiler is 2" center to center. The spread on the middlebuster is 2 1/4". If you put the plow off the middlebuster on the subsoiler it would be at too flat of an angle to do much better than the subsoiler itself. Both units have performed well for me. Most recently I busted 2, 50' ditches to bury 4" gutter drainpipes. Ran thru with the subsoiler, then plowed some out with the middlebuster and finally the good 'ol shovel to get the rest out. With the middlebuster having a shorter shank, it didn't get all the busted dirt out the subsoiler brokeup.
