Yep, grouser pads make WONDERFUL ice skates and can contribute to brown pants.
I learned that with half tracks on the 8N when I was about 16 years old. I was headed down beside the barn and didn't know to avoid the icy sidehill. Fortunately like the poster above you, I ran out of ice before I ran out of luck.

I have pallet fork holes in the back of my barn to remind me from years ago. A 150lbs gate on forks on a light 2500lbs? L3200 with no rear ballast on a grassy slope is enough.
Its the reason i made a 2" square tubing guard rack on our 5245. The forage trader had no trucks available so i drove there and loaded them myself. I drove towards the trailer with two bales on the fork, braked on loose gravel and smashed the hoods front section flat, which i had resprayed just a week before. I ordered a new piece (side panels unharmed, fortunately) and built a sturdy bullbar before mounting the hood piece... 😅

You can also run out of luck when you run out of ice. Ive seen side skidding tractors topple over once the wheel got grip all of a sudden.. 😅
