looking at the pictures it looks like the ground was so soft the engine was chewing the top soil up and being on a gradient made it a loosing battle. I would think spuds would have done the job as they would cut into the ground but obviously that is not possible with quad tracs fitted.

Parts of the site were fairly steep, so although it wasn't VERY soft generally those without spuds had to have assistance from various crawlers and tractors. Those with spuds generally seemed to have worked more effectively.
