I got one last week for my BX at Tactor Supply. It's the same as King Kutter.

These, I think, are all made by Tartar anyhow. County Line, Farm Force, KK, etc.
TSC and other farm stores have them, many of them, at least around here.
I LOVE mine. It is fantastic.

I have this one: CountyLine Sub Soiler - 2128333 | Tractor Supply Company
The main spar is about 1" x 4" solid steel, very heavily built. The welding is ok at best, but if it breaks I can fix it, but I can't buy the steel to build one for that price.
I believe it is longer (digs deeper) than the combo version, but not 100% sure.
When I lift it to the max (JD790), it's only about 4" or so off the gound. I wouldn't want to drop down the edge of the driveway with it back there.

Yes, that one is much longer than the combo one, and I think it's too long for the smaller B series, and BX series tractors. The "yellow" middlebuster is OK though, and stronger than the combo unit so I'm just going to add a subsoiler blade to mine.

Tarter Gate is a US company. http://www.tartergate.com/
Agreed, some of the larger sub-soiler/middle busters are simply too tall for the BXs. Most users have dodged that issue with the shorter models, or XB models. Measure carefully.
Raves all around for them by most guys, including me.

I have the same one as Phineas7 - it was on sale at TSC about 2 years ago. It's a beast and I run it deep - with the cross bar just scraping soil. Every so often I'll snag something - a root or cobble - and get pitched forward, hard. That reminds me - adding shear pin protection for the KK Sub Soiler is on my welding to-do list. I got a 15" Middle buster blade from Agri-Supply that I put on it when potato planting season rolls around. Works great - my shovel hates me now.
