An analysis of soil compaction by frontal disk harrows

As a result of accumulated operating experience of simple highly productive diskers with individual suspension of discs on spring-loaded carriers, which exclude their clogging with the plant residues, a decrease in grain crop yields was noticed in consequence of the soil compaction. The causes of this phenomenon and the factors that influence its appearance were analysed, some recommendations for minimizing the negative effects were given.
