KenB_Texas said: (quoted from post at 00:18:50 11/02/09) Have had a lot of rain (31 inches +/-) in the past 7 weeks. Needless to say things are damp. I have a low spot along one side of my pasture but it is not draining as well as I would like as the water is backing up into the pasture and running across my garden. (and staying there) The forecast is for about a week of dry days before it starts raining again. I am not looking to dig a trench, I just want to help the low spot drain out a little better. I plan on waiting for it to dry as long as I can but am afraid it is going to me pretty muddy when I get in there and I am not looking forward to being stuck again.

So that being said I have a 300 with a loader and a back blade.

What would be the best configuration to help me keep from getting stuck?

I have 2 pair of 12's, one new and one worn as well as 2 pair of 13's, one new and one worn. And 4 sets of wheel weights.

I was thinking axle duals would help but I still have a narrow front that will sink pretty good, as well as the extra weight of the loader on the front. Will axle duals work with different tread, new and worn or different tire sizes 12 and 13?

Thanks

Ken
Even a well experienced dozer operator knows you can't work mud. If forced, he will if he has a winch truck, a lot of cable, and large tree or the like to anchor to, but that will drive up the cost. You need to put it off until dry, maybe next summer now. Better be looking for troubles, frustration, cost, etc. if you insist on TRYING to work mud.
