In two Dystrandepts situated in Loncoche and Mariquina in southern Chile, with different kinds of use, it was determinated vertical and horizontal resistance of soil layers with a cone and a flat penetrometer, and a shear vane. In both sites measurement was carried out under native forest, meadow, and in addition in Loncoche a site with a second rotation of Pinus radiata forest. The horizontal penetrometric resistance increases more than the vertical and with soil use, this indicates changes in aggregation and a increase of shear strength. The horizontal shear vane resistance in native forest is bigger than the vertical, the structure in this sites is less degraded and homogenized than used soils
