Also, I went to buy a sub soiler yesterday afternoon, and I decided not to after seeing it. I don't think my BX23 will lift high enough to get a standard cat 1 sub soiler out of the ground. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Oh well, I'll figure out something else, which will probably involve me building one. Maybe a middle buster would be better on a BX, if it's shorter, but TSC didn't have any in stock. Thanks for the info everyone.
difference between sub soiler and middle buster?

Check out King Kutter's XB line of attachments, specially made for such subcompacts like your Kubota BX23.
Some TSC locations don't stock the XB line, so you might have to order from them...

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( This is almost exactly what I need. I need to cut small drainage ditches alongside and/or at the base of hillsides. Does any one make a middle buster that is offset to the out side of the rear tires? Sort of a “side buster.” )</font>
This is what I did. See attachment. Gerard

Gerard, how deep can you get with that? That blade looks very familiar, what did you fashion it from? I like the concept of what you did to offset it by attaching it to your blade.

Hmmm, very interesting. I was thinking of something similar. I had thought of attaching a blade similar to a round nose shovel to the bottom of a grading blade. I need to dig fairly large trenches right up next to fairly steep hill/mountain sides. Short of a backhoe I can’t think of a good method.

Bob:
With this particular set-up I can go about 16" deep. As for the blade (see attachment) it's a KK. I painted it with gloss black rust-oleum. Hated the mustard yellow. Gerard
