Surface compaction occurs from the surface down to the bottom of the tillage depth. The cause of surface compaction is the usual: the weight of people, animals, implements, etc. That spot out by the barn where you play basketball, the high school football field or a garden would be good examples of this and your plow would fix this...but it is not your problem. Plow pan (hard pan) compaction lies directly below the normal tillage depth. It develops when the depth of tillage is the same from year to year. Your chisel plow would fix this. Subsoil compaction occurs just below the depth of tillage and is the result of implements/tractors having an axle load of over 5 tons. This is hard to get rid of and will require the area to be "subsoiled or ripped". If this is your problem hire it done and then your 730 will have the power to handle "it"s" future compaction issues.
Kinda like Tractor vet was saying, an M can"t solve the problems a 806 makes.
