Was that soil partly frozen when it was dozed? If it was, frozen chunks could still be thawing and making it wet though by now I would think all of the frost is out. A large drainage tile was put in across 400 feet of my land last December. It is 14 deep at the deepest and the trench was four feet wide. This spring that tile trench is wet mush, much wetter than the surrounding soil. When I tried to level the trench this spring I turned up wet frozen chunks still thawing. Another reason for the wet soil, and I'm just theorizing, the disturbed soil is separated from the native soil so it can't wick the water out into the surrounding soil. Just a thought.
