- Trying Out a Middle Buster - Can a Kubota BX1800 Pull It?
In this video we try using a County Line middle buster to prep the ground for planting our Christmas trees. First we tried it on the Kabota BX 1800 and then we use it on the John Deere 2038R

At Rock Hill Farm and Homes we upload new videos at least 3 times per week, about our 20 Acre hobby farm, our John Deere 2038R compact tractor and other equipment, and the businesses that we run.
These businesses include a manufacturing operation, a Christmas tree farm, real estate investing, a lawn care business, and an online retail store. I demonstrate how I am able to use these ventures to earn a good living without a traditional job.
We have some cool toys and always think outside the box on our little homestead so come along for the ride.

I used my new tiller this weekend to prep for the trees. 350 trees are officially planted. The tilled ground made it so easy to plant.
I have three rows tilled and 180 trees planted so far, The video just isn’t out yet. I’m gonna try to get the rest of them in the ground tomorrow
Congrats on the new tiller
That’s a huge claw. That’s great you have helping neighbors . Cute little kubota. I bought one still learning.
Thanks for watching
Thank you Brock for having us come out. It was a blast.
Thanks for bringing the tractor over. I learned a little bit about that Middle Buster and I went and picked up a subsoiler
Brock this is fun watching you do things that need a lot of thought
God Bless All
PaK
Thanks
Great experiment. We subsoiled this year for the first time, worked really well. Just finished planting 550 trees this weekend. Thanks for sharing! -Brad
Thanks for the feedback
I have half of my 500 trees planted and I just went and got a subsoiler this afternoon that I’m going to use planting the other half. The videos are just delayed three or four days
What do you pull the subsoiler with? I think my tractor is going to handle it fine but you never know
@@RockhillfarmYT Kubota L3750 45 hp. Our video #39 shows a little.
Thanks. I’ll check that out.
Thanks for watching and for commenting
I plow with my MB & 25hp compact tractor. I get the soil to roll all the way over on each side then I disc the soil.
Works great for food plots. Trick is to set the blade so the wings push the soil over like a plow blade would do, that means not to deep. Deep is bad for plowing good for taters. Shallow & blade set at a forward angle & you have turned the rolls over instead of the soil falling back in the groove.
Thanks for sharing
💥 Always fun playing in the dirt!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Yes sir.
Good job on the video , i'm looking for a middle buster to do exactly what you did here. . Thanks
You might could have taken the foot off the plow and achieved about the same results as a sub soiler. That’s pretty much what Phil uses, his just has a different cutting edge on the end instead of the plow. Looks like really nice soil there!
Yeah, that might have worked.
It’s basically just a big ripper shank
I figured the subsoiler was taller and heavier built. I just left tractor supply and they are basically identical
You would think that the middle buster would be more expensive because of the wedge on it, but the subsoiler cost more
@@RockhillfarmYT I knew they looked very similar. It is odd the subsoiler would cost more.
That was a good test. Now we know. Thanks for sharing Sir
Thanks for watching
I just bought that middle buster for my Massey Ferguson GC1725M to dig out potatoes, will try it out tomorrow.
thanks for sharing. I’ve used it a few times for different things. Works pretty good
Enjoyed the comparison, thanks
Thanks for watching
True "garden tractors" aren't really offered by any brands now. The little 4x4 sub-compacts are the closest thing. Pretty small for a lot of dirt work, but ag tires would have made a big difference.
His tractor seems kind of like a garden tractor but I’ve been calling to subcompact because it’s got a PTO and a 3 Point hitch
That middle Buster is only rated for tractors 30 hp and under, so basically just subcompacts
They are great little implements, but you hit the nail on the head. With working 4wd, bar or r4 tires, and some weights on the front, the little Kubota would have done much better.
Still, not quite the right tool for this job. Fun to watch though!
Thank you for watching
What would you call the Deere x700 series if not a true garden tractor?
The place of the garden tractor has eroded because zero turns mow better and subcompacts do heavy work better, but they still exist.
@@RockhillfarmYT The BX series is squarely in the "subcompact" category, you're correct in your terminology!
Turf tires and no 4WD.
I have a BX2680 and used my sub-soiler with a plow blade on it to dig an irrigation ditch last year, worked great. You gotta have 4WD for it to work though, even with the R4 tires on my BX.
Using a middle buster for your application was the wrong tool for the job in the first place, should have gotten a sub-soiler which has a much longer shank. Even with that if you go slow enough you'll wad up all the soil under the 3 point assembly...You really should be running in high range and about medium speed to use these things to keep the soil to the sides of the plow. If you go to slow you'll end up having the soil building up issue.
Yeah, I didn’t realize until we were going that his 4 wheel drive wasn’t working
Thanks for watching
I had a 2 wheel drive Hinimoto 16hp and a middle buster with ag tires and went full depth in 2 pass's I think it was in the 70tys yr.....
Im gonna buy one for my JD 1025R. Why? I dunno yet 😂. Im sure ill find a use for it some day lol
If that little Kubota had 4WD working it would work 👍
Probably right. He got it fixed a few weeks later. It was missing a part for the Drive system
If the Kubota had ag rear wheels, it might have did the trick!
Downpressure kit or some concrete blocks on a bracket would keep it down.
This is a mess. The middle buster share could have been swapped out for a chisel point for about $20.
My friend had just bought the Kubota tractor and the middle buster that week and wanted to try them out.
I went and bought a subsoiler the next day
I wish they made a bx tractor with 30hp.
Got draft control?
My 05 1830 just ripped through rocky clay soil no problem, this guy driving doesn't know what he's doing. The 1800's series is very small but you can get alot of work out of them if you work smart.
I mentioned a couple of things in the video that are giving it problems
1st his 4 wheel drive wasn’t working at the time. 2nd he has turf tires. 3rd he doesn’t have any Weight added.
All of that combined to not getting any traction
@@RockhillfarmYT yeah I saw. The four wheel drive is key, mine works but I haven't added any weight and although I run turf tires I haven't filled them yet. I've ripped out rotten ledge, two inch roots, torn through hard packed soil, but I would just sit and spin all day long without four wheel.
I find wheel weights help a lot on my tractor.
My friend that brought his kubota over had just recently bought it and hasn’t done a whole lot with it yet.
I just wanted to try it out because I love these compact tractor tractors
@@RockhillfarmYT totally. Until he gets that 4x4 up and running it's just a lawn mower. Had mine for a week now, first weekend the main to the steering started leaking so I had to pull apart half the tractor then drive everywhere to find a special end piece. Didn't find it so I parts something together, then the key switch went, causing the auto shut off to trigger at idle and force me to jump the salenoid lucky Amazon was fast and I had it in a couple days. I got this one for a back yard patio in the woods, I have 3" to spare for clearance to the yard. When jobs done my upgrades will be
1# 2"spacers for the rear
2# fill the tires and get a spare filled set of AG's
3# wheel weights
4# rear weight
I would have rototill it then ran that sub tool
I’m learning as I go but I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to till it all I ended up waiting till the next day and was able to tell most of it the ground is just really wet wet
I'm just letting you know what I was thinking, I might be wrong but was thinking if you tilled first it might go deeper for you. By no means am I an expert on this stuff. Love the videos
Thanks. I appreciate the comments because I learn through the discussion of it
Looks like we are all learning together
