A dataset of soil-sweep tool interaction measurements on an agricultural field including cone penetration resistance, draft force, and surface profiles under varying soil moisture conditions.

This dataset contains field measurements of soil-sweep tool interactions in clay loam soil acquired at the research field of the Institute of Technology of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences in Gödöllő, Hungary. Measurements were conducted during three field campaigns representing distinct soil moisture conditions over the course of one year. The objective of the measurement campaign was to document soil conditions, tillage parameters, and soil response using a consistent experimental methodology at the same agricultural field. Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) were performed at multiple locations within each campaign using an Eijkelkamp 06.15.SA penetrologger, while soil moisture was measured at the same locations. Tillage experiments were carried out using three sweep tools with different working widths operated at three target working speeds. During each tillage run, draft force and speed were continuously recorded using a custom instrumented tractor. Surface profiles were measured before and after tillage using a laser profilograph for the dry and medium-moisture soil conditions. The repository is organized according to soil moisture conditions and includes raw measurement files and accompanying JSON metadata. In addition, scanned 3D models of the investigated sweep tools are provided in STL format. The dataset can be reused for studies of soil moisture effects on tillage performance, development and validation of discrete element method (DEM) and finite element method (FEM) models, and for benchmarking soil-tool interaction simulations.
