Ive been thinking of buying a KingKutter middle buster to till the arena since my boxblade pulls to much dirt. The sand/pea gravel mix can be very hard at times so it will have its work cut out. I also need it to fit on my imatch system as well as a standard 3 point and under $200. Ive looked at the XB ones but they dont look wide enough to fit on the imatch. The $125 price tag looks good but I dont know the price on a standard size middle buster.

I've been pretty happy with mine, but don't know what it'll cost you to set it up for imatch.
It'll definitely break up the hard spots, but you might want something more like a spike harrow to keep from tearing your arena up too much.

I modified an XB model to fit my Imatch. It wasn't that hard but you end up replacing the cross bar with a wider one and lengthening the the triangulating gussets. You also have to make longer tabs for the top where the top link attaches. You'll need a cutting torch or plasma cutter and a 220 volt welder to do it. It's a nice size for the sub cut tractors so is worth the effort to modify. I thought the standard sized middle buster a bit large for my 2210.
