For me it was with a Bolens Garden Tractor that has a home built FEL on it.
When I brought it home, I backed it off the trailer, pulled around to the side yard, and it just stopped with the tires spinning on top of the grass.
It had been raining a lot, and the ground was so saturated that it would squish like a wet sponge when I walked on it. Bear in mind that I'm a light weight at about 160 lbs.
Anyway it had unloaded turf tires, no counter weight, and worst of all, the guy that built the FEL used single action lift cylinders so I couldn't even use the FEL to help get out.
I was wanting to replace the rear tires anyway, so I got a pair of nice aggressive ATV tires, had them filled with Rim Guard (110 lbs. in each), put them on, and it walked out like it was on dry ground.
Here's pics of it stuck, unstuck, and a good pic of the tread on the ATV tires.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
