On the middle buster I take the shovel off and put a spike point from the cultivator on it. I put weight on it and start running back and forth all in the same directions, like. North and South spiking and then disc it running east and west, and then north and south on the discing. If you can get the middle buster weighted down enough to get in the ground 6-8" it is alot quicker and does better than the spike. You just turn around and put the tractor wheel into the last furrow and keep running back and forth with the middle buster or spike either one. When you get to the disc part let about 1/2 the angle out of the disc and put as much weight of some kind on the disc as you can pull, then run the disc in the 90 degree direction of the way you ran the spike. It's not a real good job like you would do with a turning plow but it will work for cane and/or grass seed bed prep. If you're gonna be planting every year or so you might want to get a disc turning plow. The disc turner will do alot better than a flat bottom as far as getting in the ground better and you can do more work with less horsepower. I have a double disc Ford plow here that will out do the flat bottom by a good bit. Good luck and stay busy.It aint long til planting time. Oh yeah one more thing. These boys with sandy soil always say not to clean or sharpen your disc. That's good advise unless you have clay. If you have clay you'll need to sharpen and keep the disc blades clean or they won't go in the ground no matter how much weight you put on the disc.
