The experimental design for this study was a 23 factorial split plot design with tillage implements as main plots (Paratill and KMC) and speeds (slow, normal, and fast; horizontal direction) as sub-main plots. In the vertical direction were four replications. Plots measured 30.5-m long by 5.5-m wide. Each pass consisted of 3 plots with a 15-m transition area between each plot. Gear changes occurred within this transition area without stopping or raising the implement out of the ground allowing the equipment to reach steady-state operating conditions before entering the next plot.
