    John, you bought the tractor now go get you a rototiller attachment for it, then till the entire track about 6" deep, and put the scraper blade on it and blade the track! you can fill the low spots and take out the high spots making it a way better track. or do I need to come up there and do it for you? lol

    Cool cart for getting it free. Center your seat and steering for more stability when turning, especially on right turns. You won't tip over as easily and you will have equalized your weight on the live rear axle and may have better traction in the mud. Great video!
