I can see how tilling amendments into the soil could help avoid soil compaction because the one thing that seems to have fixed the soil compaction that I had on my property was to add organic stuff back into the soil.

I guess it's the lack of organics that causes the soil compaction. So if you till and then use synthetic fertilizers maybe that's the cause of the problem.
