I suggest you do your manure spreading now, forget the tillage, forget the crop seeding, then rip it just before freeze up. You'll conserve the moisture you do have, the freeze/thaw cycles will break up alot of the chunky stuff, any snow or rain will soak in, and early light tillage next spring will be possible while the soil is mellow, sealing in the moisture and creating a nice seedbed.
In other words, spread now while the ground is hard. Rip the ____ out of it, but not to early STAY OFF OF IT
You said you have compaction and the soil is dry, yet you want to do exactly the same thing that caused it by working it deep, then compacting it with manure spreaders, multiple tillage and seeding passes, then to top it off, plant a crop to take out any moisture you can possibly have left.
