Middle buster

[etpm]

Does anybody here have plans for a DIY middle buster? For a CAT 1 hitch? I made something similar, a 6 inch wide bucket that affixes to my backhoe bucket, for digging water pipe and wire ditches. But it looks like a middle buster would work great on the back of my Yanmar YM2310 for digging water pipe ditches. And I have a need to put in at least 300 feet of water pipe ditches. Our ground is so full of rocks that using a shovel is a non starter. NEVER MIND, I FOUND A BUNCH ONLINE. That I can't make for cheaper, and can modify if need be.

Rented ditchwitch may work better and faster.

I bought a middle buster for potato digging. Then made some removable modifications to allow me to run wire for underground dog fence. We recently ran dog fence wire around my friends entire 5 acre yard. Removed the plow blade leaving just the shank, built a bolt on wire spool holder, and used conduit and poly hose to bolted directly behind the shank. Once the wire was started underground (about 15 feet worth) I rode the hitch to provide weight while my buddy drove the tractor. Our creation allowed us to bury the wire in under 45 minutes. Fence was up and running in an hour.

I pull out big roots when converting woods to anything else. I've also put mine on an adapter that mounts 3PT implements on my SSQA FEL, for miscellaneous jobs that require reaching in and pulling out.
