Driftless SW Wisconsin
The scraping action at the bottom of a disc is the same no matter what depth you run it. You are just putting the compaction at different depths. Soil type and moisture levels may vary by depth causing some difference but the physics are the same regardless of depth. Soil moisture is likely higher in the spring which would make things more likely to compact.
