For osr or if my trusty spade shows up shallow compaction, yes. It als depends on how wet it is at depth. I'm hoping that over time as the soil structure improves I'll be able to reduce the depth to the point that I can park it up & no till with a lot less steel/hp. I'm only doing my first full harvest with strip tillage so there is work to be done yet. The tractor has a CVT gearbox, so throttles back once it has got to the cruising speed of 12 kph. Much faster than that and the soil thrown from the tines & A shares is harder to level with the batter boards on the back. It's amazing how the soil types and power needed change across a field. The chalk is easy working but the clay cap on the hill tops is brutal.
