About a month ago, I bought a standard sized King Kutter Middle Buster (not the XB series). I have one of their standard rear blades, and while it doesn't fit exactly as good as it could, it works, its heavy and it was cheap. So, I figured I could get away with the standard sized plow, rather than ordering one (local dealer didn't have any XB sized plows around).
Unless I just put it on wrong, I can only say it wasn't going to work. When raised, I had maybe, and I mean maybe, 2 inches of ground clearance. I put it on with the blade facing forward (having never owned a plow before and being a city boy, I figured this is the way it had to go). I couldn't swing it around anyway because of the way the frame was made (a long horizontal strip of metal from the top link holes to the frame prevented that possibility).
I planned to use it to dig up the garden area, and also to cut some trenches for outdoor lighting and irrigation.
I will plan to order the XB sized middle buster, which will have the advantage of the replaceable blade for the subsoiler.
Anyone else manage to get the standard middle buster to fit their BX? What was I doing wrong?
