Selecting a tractor for wet soil

[rlee6]

My answer is more Case 2 than Case 1.

Thank you. You answered all my questions. I want to stretch my working hours into the rainy season and farther into the soggy area of my parcel (pulling a small plow, maintaining ditches, etc) and I can to a certain extent with weight, groove, wheel thickness, 2W vs 4W, etc. But you just explained to me that there is a limit and eventually I will have to wait until the rain stops.

I'd go heavy...especially if you are hauling an implement.

Heavy, with R1s.

This may allow you to work year round... just came across an ad last night from a company that showed these rubber tracks on a JD 4410 and 3320... their website has pictures of them on a Kubota, but you'll get the idea. They have videos and show lots of uses across the board, but with the PSI being lower than your own foot! it should work great. I'm impressed. http://www.mattracks.com/html/track-tor-assist.htm

Neat, but I bet they are pricey.
