Mechanical soil conditioner system

A soil conditioner system comprising:

• a bit body;
• a first buffer bit and a second buffer bit mounted in a back-to-back configuration at a first end of the bit body;
• the first buffer bit and the second buffer bit mounted in respective recesses formed in the bit body on opposite sides of the bit body at the first end;
• the bit body comprising a mounting surface at a second end of the bit body, the mounting surface to rigidly couple the bit body with a horizontally rotatable member such that the bit body extends transversely away from an outer surface of the horizontally rotatable member to the first end;
• and
• the bit body including a first side and a second side disposed on opposing sides of the bit body to face opposite directions of horizontal rotation of the horizontally rotatable member and being positioned between the mounting surface and the first buffer bit and the second buffer bit, respectively,
• wherein each of the first buffer bit and the second buffer bit include a planar cutting surface positioned at a respective rake angle such that the planar cutting surface of the first buffer bit and the second buffer bit lie in intersecting planes.

• wherein the bit body further comprises opposing side walls comprising a lower wall section extending as a flat planar surface from the mounting surface at the second end of the bit body toward the first end of the bit body, and an upper wall section formed as a curved surface extending from the lower wall section to a top surface of the bit body at the first end.
