1. A soil conditioning and planting implement comprising:
(a) a seed distribution implement adapted to be drawn by a tractor or other prime mover; (b) a height-adjustable attachment mechanism for a soil conditioning implement comprising:
(1) a mounting plate adapted to be fixed to a seed planter or tow bar that is adapted to be drawn by a tractor;(2) a pair of arms pivotally attached to the mounting plate in parallel, spaced relation flanking said soil conditioning implement, said arms extending away from the mounting plate;(3) a rolling basket tillage implement journaled for rotation between the pair of arms; and(4) an actuator device operatively coupled between the mounting plate and the pair of arms for selectively raising and lowering the rolling basket implement relative to the ground.
