Now that the frost is gone all I have left is mud. My trail to the sugarbush is all mud. My Bobcat 2200 cant make it to the collection tank.
Gonna have to start hauling by hand in 5 gallon buckets.

Sell it and get a dozer, or a full size 4x4 farm tractor, or round up all the neighbor kids and hand them a bucket! Bobcats don't do too well in deep mud or snow, unfortunately. Mother nature makes sugaring difficult in more ways than one!

Over the tires mud track kits are avaiable for skid steer loaders. Might not be the best option for you, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware that it was an option.
Sorry, my bad. I assumed that bobcat meant skid loader. Never thought about utility vehicle. I put a set of camoplast tatou 4 season utv tracks on my mule (pics in a few days) solved the mud/snow problem, but the checking account is terminal.
A set of tire chains or a lift kit might be an option. You tube has a video of a atv with duals on it that might be worth a look. good luck

Yea I think i'm gonna add some grave this summer and make a 4 season trail into the woods.
The bobcat 2200 is just a 4x4 diesel golfcart. I haul a 300 gallon tote in the back to haul sap.
