Shane, I'm only about 20 miles from you (as the crow flies) and on very similar terrain/soil. I have a Mahindra 6500 with R-1's and all four tires loaded. Now our house in on the crest of a hill so it drains well and our lawn is "farmhouse" lawn, not putting green. BUT, I run the tractor on the lawn a lot (not mowing, but fixing fences, carting materials, etc.). In the past year plus there have only been maybe four days that I would have damaged the lawn and resorted to the Gator to avoid it. Our rocky clay soil (if it drains at all) hardens up really quickly. Since you haven't damaged anything thus far -- leave 'em loaded. Just be prepared to put off mowing for a few days if/when we ever get a lot of rain.
