I'm kind of a tractor rookie (not totally) and have a new to me Case 580ck with FEL. I use it to move round hay bales. I don't have a hay spear yet, just a ratchet strap to hook bale to the bucket. Whenever the ground gets the least bit soft the front tires want to sink in a bit and make the going tough. Last month I mounted some chains, and on hard ground a huge improvement. However when I got into heavier haylage bales the going was questionable so the rears got about 600lb of liquid each. The other day I got into a spot where the ground water was high and broke through the frost. I had it in a rut over a foot deep and could get about a 10' run forward and back but couldn't get out. Went back with planks the next day and got out. The chains didn't seem to do much good in my case.
