The Buster 2.0 arena drag was originally designed by our crew for use in our own arenas and quickly became one of our best-selling arena groomers. In 2024, we added the smaller Buster 1.0 for customers running lower horsepower tractors while still wanting the same heavy-duty design.
Both models feature adjustable ripper shanks, heavy-duty S-tines, a leveling bar, and a paddle wheel crumbler system designed to break up clods and help leave your arena smooth and consistent. The 3-point hookup allows you to lift the drag and work tight corners, boxes, and alleyways more effectively.
Our arena drags are commonly used in team roping arenas, horse riding arenas, barrel racing arenas, reining pens, dressage arenas, hunter/jumper arenas, and more. Built from heavy-duty steel and hot dip galvanized after production, the Buster lineup is designed for long-term use in demanding conditions.
