I completely understand about not wanting a big 'ol implement out back for counterweight. My 80 acres is open bunch grass and tight stands of old ancient Ponderosa pines. No way I can get my tractor into the pine stands - rear blade on the 3-point or not.
If your yard is that soft you might consider a gravel path dedicated to tractor use. In the spring there has to be a VERY pressing need for me to go out most anywhere on the 80. I will make ruts that must later be "troweled" smooth. The rest of the summer - you can hardly see where I've been. The ground dries out and becomes concrete.
The picture is looking across my high pasture( ~ 25 acres ). View attachment 635258
