Not a problem for me. The largest tractor I have on the place doesn't 
move....

Up behind my old place there is a field that sucks down at least one 
large tractor a year. There are springs that runs underground and create 
mud holes. The owners rented out the land to different folks every year 
and I would be a good neighbor and warn them about the springs. They 
would either forget to tell the help OR thought I was joking.
Used to be fun seeing a big 4X4 tractor with a 10 bottom plow hit that 
spot and just start digging in.  Didn't matter if you had duals or 
chains, as soon as the thin crust broke it was slick clay mud..  Two of 
the springs were just about perfect for the average log chain to place 
the "rescue" tractor right over the next spring....
I remember one year when they had two BIG crawlers and a 4X4 Deere all 
stuck at once.


They ended up calling a friends wrecked service and winching them all out.
