Strange question for you...
Over 100 acres of farmland drain into my back yard. There is a slope where the water is supposed to go, and continues in a creek for a long distance (don't know where it goes) around a bend. (Photo of back yard and bend attached)
My house was built recently and the slope of the yard was changed in some places. The result is that water now sits in my back yard. It's as deep as 8" in some places.
Last weekend, I took the tractor back to the bend to get it dug out a bit to get the water flowing again. This was easy work for the FEL. The problem is, my turf tires got covered in dirt/clay, and were rendered completely useless. I had to use the FEL to push my way out, making a big mess.
I really need to get the tractor up to the creek to fix the problem areas, but I'm not sure how to get traction. One thought was to use pallets if I could get some, so that I could put those next to the creek and drive on them. Another thought was to use some boards.
This BX2660 is my first tractor, so I'm looking for any tricks of the trade. To get over a muddy area.
