As others have commented, soil type has a in role in this. Where I am at in East central ND, most of the ground is 12-18 inches of black topsoil over 1000 feet of white clay. When the white clay is wet it has the consistency of pudding. The black soil will support equipment, but if you break through, there is no bottom.

They know it will be needed, and less damage gets caused if the proper solution gets used right away.
Took me a while to get used to it. I moved here from somewhere you couldnt sink more than 12 inches. If you went that far, you hit the big rock and stopped.
