The invention of the ox collars seems to have come along a little to late to make any difference to farming practices, although I believe some African farmers are being encourage to adopt harness rather than yokes. A decent ox collar appears not to have been invented until the late 1930's by which time tractors were becoming the norm.
Apparently an ox collar allows the animal to pull from a lower point than a yoke. It is claimed that one ox in harness can do as much work and pull as much as two ox in a yoke.

Who invented the first plow?
The plough dates to before 3500 BC, when oxen began to be used. These ploughs were constructed of wood and were invented by someone in prehistory whose name we can never know.Related Information:China had a metal plough between 475-221 BC. We know of a western plough (west of china), with a metal share, from over a thousand years ago. The steel plough came along ca 1740 in England. Various improvements were made into the early 1800s. Then ploughs appeared with separate standardized parts. John Deere made a series of improvements in ploughs, and in their manufacture, beginning in 1837.Later, came double bottom ploughs, so that a furrow could be ploughed and laid over properly, while ploughing in either direction across the field. With mechanical power, came multiple, or gang, ploughs with adjustable mounts. Hydraulic controls were added, allowing precise adjustments on the fly. Many specialized ploughs, some in combination with other equipment, now exist for varying soil conditions and purposes (such as one-pass soil preparation and planting, mixing of soils, and brush clearing).
Is it true that the invention of the oxen collar improved farming because oxygen could plow much faster than horses?
yes
Did the oxen collar improved farming because oxen could plow much faster than horses?
No. You are asking about the YOKE, not the collar. The yoke kept the oxen together without needing chains to keep the oxen together like with horses, plus it helped have better control of the oxen's heads. The yoke never made the oxen work faster than horses, because no matter what horses will always be faster than oxen, but it just helped with better control.
Did The invention of oxen collar improved farming because oxen could plow much faster than horses?
No. It just made it easier to control the oxen as they were being used to plow fields and for the oxen to pull the plow, and it made it more efficient to be able to use more than one ox to use for plowing. But it never made oxen plow fields faster than horses do. Horses are always going to be faster and more high-stepping than an ox will ever be.

What kind of animals did the medieval farming use to pull the plows?
Early on, farmers used horses, mules, and oxen. The invention of the horse collar changed things because it made a horse more efficient than an ox at pulling a plow, which meant that a farmer could do more work in a day with a horse than with an ox. After this change, which might have been in the 6th century, horses were very much preferred.
