Middlebuster

I use the middlebuster all the time to lay out my garden (it's long and skinny; the rows are about 300') rows. If I want to put something in deep, like taters, I may make two passes. If your soil is really heavy clay or virgin sod you will probably have to do the same.

I've got a subsoiler, too. It is great to use every couple of years to improve drainage, but doesn't do much to prep the soil for planting anything.

I just hook mine (Gearmore Brand) up so it's pretty much vertical, drop it and go. I'll shear the pin once in a while, but it's supposed to do that.

I keep the "shovel head" on. I could take it off, but it works as is.

I think the deepest I can get is about 16-18", which is governed by the lift bars dropping to the lowest level.

You may have to water the ditch, let it set and go again.

Good luck!
