The controlled traffic farming calculator can be used to calculate how much of your paddock is wheeled.
Size, width and depth of soil compaction
Tyres, tracks and axle load all need to be considered when addressing soil compaction.
Visualising machinery-induced soil compaction
Forces from machinery compress the soil and decrease space between soil particles, reducing pore space and increasing soil density.
