The research was carried out during sugar cane harvest season 2014 to 2015 in the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production (UBPC) Carlos Perera, of the UEB Hector Rodriguez, Villa Clara province, Cuba, with the objective of determining the compaction and variation of the bank profile caused by the harvester’s traffic CASE IH A8800 on wet soils. It was determined penetration resistance, bulk density and variation of bank profile, before and after of harvester traffic, on soils with 60.8% of moisture content. The harvester caused an increment of the penetration resistance of 12.5% and a maximum increment of bulk density of 8.9%. The bulk density of ≈ 1 g/cm 3 after the harvester traffic, it was far from of the value of 1.15 g/cm 3 considered as soil compaction threshold starting from which the plants growth is affected, in the type of researched soil. The variation of bank profile was only of about 5 cm in the ends proving that tracked machines are appropriate for harvest in wet soils. The scarce soil affectation provoked by this machine make it appropriate for its use during harvest in wet soil (≥ 50%).
