I’m looking for and implement that will bust up some dirt for getting some seed going in bare spots of pasture. My tractor is a B8200 and only has 16hp at PTO.
Good implement for busting up pasture dirt (small tractor)?

A disk would work best in most cases and a used one can be found somewhat cheap.
Follow it with a piece of chain link fence. I use a 2x4 at the front with the chain link secured to it, rope from there to the hitch on my 4-wheeler.
Drag it around and it will aid in leveling and busting up clogs for a nice finish.

a cat 1 tool bar with 3-4 narrow point spring shanks work great. i run a 5 foot tool bar with either twist points or a lifting sweep, with a aggressive setup break up little spots and holes, seed down, then drag level.

I pulled a small disk set at a angle with my B7100, 16 gross HP and lighter than your B8200 , and had no problems at all. To be fair my soil was very sandy and not highly compacted.

Simple thing would be a spike tooth harrow, or drag harrow. 
They are all over the place for cheap, I have several.

A small one like Ken Erickson has in his picture would be good maybe 4 feet. If you hunt on Craig's List and can not find a small single one but found a double disk you could remove the back set on most of them.
Nothing larger than 4'.
If tandem and three point mounted, you may well need front weights.

You haven't described how much/how many acres you have to seed. You may have a neighbor with similar equipment that you could use on your tractor or if it's too large have him do the discing for you.
If you purchase an implement you wouldn't want anything wider than 5' .
