Also, it costs about two grand to dig a sub40hp tractor out of thick clay mud.
We once pulled a bullock out of a bog with a tractor. Tractor got stuck. Neighbouring farm loaned us their extraction rig. That got stuck. Eventually got everything out with five chains of heavy cable, several winches, and a lot of bad language.
