In the article presented the parameters of the softening pad, i.e., its width, angle of entry into the soil, radius of curvature and aggregate movement speed, level of soil compaction, the height of unevenness formed at the bottom of the softened layer, and the height of unevenness formed at the bottom of the softened layer, are at the level of agrotechnical requirements. Multifactorial experiments were conducted according to the Hartley-4 plan.
