Don, I have a 3100# T5C terramite. I had a similar problem this spring. The thaw went out of the ground. My road was made using sand and gravel from my old gravel pit. The rock went down and the sand went up. I had a good 2 inches of mud. I used backhoe and pushed the mud to the lowest point in the road. I then went to the local gravel pit and bought the cheap #8 gravel. I would tail gate spread the gravel on the dry place. Then use the loader to push the gravel on top of the mud.
So if I were you, dump your gravel on the dry part of the road, then using a loader build the road up keeping the loader on the new grave as you go so you don't get stuck. Try to relocate some of the mud to fill to the low spots.
If I had really muddy deep ruts, I would get the biggest rock my loader could handle. like try #2 or #0 and work it in the mud. When working in mud with a loader, you will need a ballast weight behind the rear wheels to transfer weight off the front wheels, or you will get stuck.
