A couple years, when the hay fields were just too wet to put equipment on them, I hitched up the team. The wheels still sink a little, but my #9 mower only weighs 500lb - add another 250 for me = less damage. The hoof prints aren't too bad either. There was some wisdom in the old ways.

I have since put in drainage tiles. Still use the Roans some though.

Today some of us have a choice. Some days I want to drive a tractor. Some days, I choose to go it a bit slower. Not having to make a living at it, I have the luxury of choice. There may be a teamster in your area willing to help out.

Besides, the horses are the reason I need the hay, which is why I need the land, which is why I need the tractors in the first place.

Your other choice would be lighter equipment. Most wheeled equipment will compact wet soil unacceptably though.
