I just picked up a middle buster, from Dells, our version of TSC. It is a Countyline. I changed the top link to a 14 inch when shorted all the way, But even with that, can't get it to go the last couple of inches into the ground. It seem to level out a couple of inches short. Yes, the 3ph, still has room to go down. Can't seem to find a shorter top link any place on line. Any Ideas?

Geometry.

Small rice paddy tractors were never set up to run deep digging implements like a middle buster. As a result, the 3pt arms are too short to get the proper geometry to dig correctly.

The only way to get your desired results, since your top link is already as short as possible, is to extend the length of the lift arms. I have seen pin on extensions at either tsc or atwoods, can't remember exactly.

Just by adding the Pat's Easy Change will extend them 4 inches!
