You can make a poor man’s soil probe by welding a T handle together. Main rod about 42” long with a 8-10” handle welded on top. Sharpen point on bottom of long rod and just check your field in a semi grid sample. You can tell quick if you have a hard pan. Stick sharp point in ground until it won’t go any further. That’s where you hard pan is. Everything will be relative based on how sharp the point is and how hard you push but you will quickly get the idea. I purchased a JD no till ripper that came with a probe like I’ve described mounted on it. Really simple tool. Late Summer drought conditions will greatly affect soil resistance. So if you probe today you will hit resistance at 5-6”. Wait until optimum soil moisture and the probe my go down 18” in same spot. To get a good feel for what you actually have it is best to build a cheap probe, keep it in your truck, and check fields several times during the year
