Claim 11:
12. A rotary land preparation implement comprising:
a tool having a front end and a rear end, the tool comprising:
a main body defining a centerline that extends between the front end and the rear end;
at least one material engaging feature disposed at the front end of the tool;
a first sidewall extending from the rear end of the tool;
a second sidewall extending from the rear end of the tool and spaced from the first sidewall;
a first cleat extending from the first sidewall towards the second sidewall and spaced from the second sidewall; and
a second cleat extending from the second sidewall towards the first sidewall and spaced from the first sidewall; and

a tool holder having a front end and a rear end and comprising:
a rear portion disposed at the rear end of the tool holder and extending from the base flange; and
a tool interface pillar disposed at the front end of the tool holder and extending from the rear portion, the tool interface pillar comprising:
a right side;
a left side;
a main portion;
a first cleat support that extends laterally outwardly from the main portion on the left side of the tool interface pillar and extends from the rear portion towards the front end of the tool holder, the first cleat support cooperating with the main portion and the rear portion to define a first slot; and
a second cleat support that extends laterally outwardly from the main portion on the right side of the tool interface pillar and extends from the rear portion towards the front end of the tool holder, the second cleat support cooperating with the main portion and the rear portion to define a second slot, wherein:
the main body comprises a support surface that extends between the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
the first cleat and the second cleat are spaced from the support surface along the centerline such that the support surface is disposed between the first and second cleats and the at least one material engaging feature;
the first cleat and the second cleat are disposed on opposite sides of the tool;
the support surface is arcuate in a direction that is perpendicular to the opposite sides; and
the first cleat and the second cleat selectively interface with the first cleat support and the second cleat support, respectively, to facilitate selective coupling of the tool to the tool holder.
