Kabota 7500DT
I have a Kubota 7500 and a new Middlebuster from Tractor Supply. Used it for the first time today and the deepest I could make it dig was about 8 inches with the 3PH lowered all the way.
Could somebody tell me how to get it to go lower ?
I looked in the Kubota manual and there are two holes on each horizontal link/lifting arm. If you hook the lifters to the holes which are closer in towards the tractor you get more vertical movement of tools connected to the 3PH (and less lifting capacity). But just eyeballing it, even if I use these holes which are closer in, it doesn't look like I'd get substantially that much more vertical downward movement of the Middlebuster (though I'm certainly game to try it). I had no trouble digging down the 8-9 inches but it appears I can't go any deeper not becaue of the soil or the Middlebuster, but because there isn't enough downward travel of the 3PH.
Thanks for any help.

Moving them in closer to the tractor will allow your arms to drop farther and increase the lift capacity. Give it a try.
