Default Moldboard vs. Middle Buster?

Ok, I 've been lurking on this site for long enough. Finally bit the bullet and bought 100 acres here in WV. With the property came a Kioti CK20HST tractor, a 48" disc harrow, a 500 lb fertilizer spreader, a 48" finish mower and a heck of alot of work. About 25% of the property is old hayfields that haven't been more than brushhogged in the past 20 years. I've had the soil tested and it's fine. I'd like to plant a couple acre or two-acre food plots and need to know if a Middle Buster (that tractor supply sells for $99) will turn over the soil as well as (or adequately) a moldboard plow (that's $348)? I'm not new to tractors (mostly cutting and putting up hay) and using them, but I've no experience plowing, harrowing and planting. If the middle buster will get the soil ready to harrow as well as the moldboard, I could use the extra $ to buy seed and fertilizer.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Jeff
