Appendix<br />

To summarize the ability to predict soil displacement after multiple passes from either a three<br />

front axle pass or whole machines the slope of the measured and predicted soil displacement<br />

lines were calculated and plotted against each other in Figure 16. The agreement between<br />

measured and predicted soil displacement is high. The average increase in DBD was predicted<br />

to within +/- 1.5 % for all treatments except the 680-585 with +3%. The slope shows that the<br />

increase is underpredicted by 5 % compared to the 1:1 line with an R 2 of 0.85.<br />
