I may consider 50% Rimguard at the 50hr service, I know that this may sound strange but I know for a fact that 375 or so lbs in the particular 1/4 acre of my property is the difference between light tracks and ruts. I inadvertently tested that (difference in weight between tractor MMM, and tractor, MMM, FEL) and since that was in the same day within a couple of hours I would say it's the tractor weight instead of a change of soil conditions. This is a preference in my case since I have the luxury of the choice (no extensive hills, almost completely flat, really only one on the driveway and that's the one I had problems with - rear 3pt ballast would have been better in that case anyways).
Honestly up until the other day my FEL was only used lightly, I bought the tractor just before the end of last years mowing season, and didn't have to move any deep snows during the winter (luckily). The project I had was done in response prevention of basement flooding (worked by the way), and had to be done quickly in response to flood warnings (my pile of dirt just defrosted for the first time since I had it delivered, nothing like rain then a perpetual freeze...).
Anyways thanks for the responses!
