Yanmar 32″ Middle Buster and Subsoiler

Description

Yanmar YMB20 32-Inch Middle Buster

The YMB20 is a dedicated middle buster with a 15 by 11 inch double-wing blade, built for compact tractors from about 25 to 45 HP. It opens deep furrows for planting and hilling row crops, and it is one of the most useful tools for lifting potatoes at harvest.

Heavy Shank, Clean Furrow

The heavy steel shank handles concentrated loads, and the wide double wing throws soil evenly to both sides. The tool weighs about 70 pounds and mounts to a Category 1 hitch, quick-hitch compatible. Running at a steady moderate speed gives a straighter, more consistent furrow than rushing. A double wing that throws soil to both sides also makes it quick to rebuild raised beds each spring.

• Hitch: Category 1
• Suggested tractor size: 25 to 45 HP
• Approximate weight: 70 lbs

Harvest Work

When lifting potatoes, setting the depth a few inches below the tubers and driving slowly brings them to the surface with little damage. The same furrows make useful irrigation channels in dry climates, and the double wing also cuts drainage ditches across a slope.

Choosing a Middle Buster

Pick the YMB20 for furrowing and hilling on compact tractors. The YSS20 combines middle buster and subsoiler duty, and the YMBSS10 is the sub-compact option.
