A conditioner is configured to couple to a support member of a construction vehicle and condition the ground while the vehicle remains stationary. A conditioner can include a mounting assembly for releasably coupling to the vehicle and rotatably supporting a roller configured to provide a plurality of seed beds. A cylindrically shaped roller can have a plurality of cleats disposed along a circumferential surface. The cleats may be arranged to provide a spaced-apart staggered pattern of seed beds. Through operation of the vehicle's support member and hydraulic system, the roller can be manipulated to move along steep slopes within confined areas while the construction vehicle remains stationary at a stable location. The roller can be configured for adjustable ground compaction through addition and/or withdrawal of fluids through a port.
