Middle Buster

[OkieG]

My lower lift arms (picture attached) also have two holes to choose from for connecting the lift links. As you can see, mine are in the "near" holes. If I have it figured right, the near holes should give you maximum range of motion (ie a little deeper cut) with your middlebuster at the expense of a little lifting power. The far holes reduce range of motion, but give maximum lifting power.

For the deepest trench, use the near holes.

I've used my middlebuster to trench in alot of different situations. I actually welded a 9" long piece of steel to make it dig deeper. The problem - couldn't raise 3ph enough to clear the ground. The solution - got a cat 0 top link from tsc and some adapters, now there's no problem. I have gotten down around 15" with multiple passes. I think it would have gone deeper but it was deep enough for the job.

I am a new member on this forum, and a new (to me) tractor owner. I purchased a Kubota B7300 HSD with a 16 HP diesel.
My question is can this size tractor handle a middle buster or sub-soiler. Thanks for any help or suggestions in advance

Yes... take small "bite-size" chunks, with multiple passes... and it's doable... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
