The general objective of this study was to examine the processes of tillage translocation and tillage erosion in greater depth. The specific objective was to determine the effect of tillage implement type on the magnitude of soil translocation and net downslope soil translocation by tillage under a range of slope gradients within a typical upland landscape. The effect of other factors such as soil conditions, tillage depth and tillage ground speed were also examined. The information collected in this study will constitute the major database utilized in the development of a working model to demonstrate the relationship between landscape position, tillage practices, and soil loss.
