Progress, sort of.
The BobCat has been pulled out two more times, to my knowledge.
Both times in very wet deep soupy stuff, that to me looks/feels like clay.
I was down there yesterday with the tractor following a couple of dry days.

For THIS kind of work with THOSE drivers it seems the BobCat is less than ideal.
With a tractor I have much wider tires and especially at the back have weight and width - loaded 24 x 17.5 with about 50 gallons of Rimguard in each.
With a full bucket I can pack down stuff I have already laid as I go forwards to the next dump point.
If I start to sink I can dump it, push it around and still have the big rear wheels on the area that is even more packed to get me out.
Well, I think that is what/how I was doing things, at least I got some seat time out of it.
