how do i set up middle buster to dig deeper

well, how low does your 3 point go to the ground when there are no implements on? With my yanmar, it only gets down to about 4 inches at its lowest point so having it 6 inches off the ground makes it a bit difficult to use a ground engaging implement (boxblade) sice the 3 point is limiting your digging depth. With my middle buster/subsoiler i just shorten the toplink and put the end that attaches to the tractor on the lowest hole on the top link bracket connected to the tractor. This has worked well for me. My middle buster is kinda tall, even on the 3720 which can only pick it up about 4" off the ground.

thanks all you guys for taking the time to respond. i will try some of your suggestions and see how it goes. i am mainly trying to go deep enough to put in a drain pipe for the downspouts off my barn. was hoping to go at least as deep as the furrower blade that came with the middlebuster, which is about 12'' inches.

Multiple passes will probably work. You have to pay attention, but I think you'll be surprised how well you can run down the same groove several times in a row.

Yep, I used my middle buster for that same job--digging a 12" deep trench for corrugated plastic drain pipe from the house downspouts. Multiple passes with the MB and then some shovel work got the job done.
