Kind of a dummy...admitting is the first step. I have a small farm I like to mess around with. My little b3030 is fine for things I NEED to do...but ya know. Part if my property is river bottom and the part I get to play with, the rest is rented to row crop. The river bottom can be soggy, most of the time...part is in wetland program if that tells ya anything...most soil is silty loam. I've been "stuck" a few times always able to get out with loader and theres some places i just dont go. B3030 with r4's is light...im rarely over a ton in weight...i feel like I float. If I get a big machine...how will this impact me? I can't figure if I'll be in a similar situation or sink to the frame or march right through it with the extra weight and ag tires. I'm thinking about something in the 75hp range and pushing 3 ton in weight.

Get it equipped with floatation tires. ;)
And no that's not a joke, they do make them and they work! :)
