Usually you want a good tire like a TSL and you lower the PSI down to about 15 psi so you get a very large track pattern.

Ummmmm.... yeah. Right. 
That stuff is like driving in soup. The surface is juuusssttt firm enough to walk on, but one you break thru it you might as well give up. I got my tractor buried behind my pond just dragging a bunch of tree limbs back to burn. Walked on it with no problem, drove the lawnmower over it with only a little bit of squishing, but once I broke the surface with the wheels of my 8N it just sunk. The more you move the deeper you get. Sure makes a hell of a rut to fill when you're pulled out too!

Sounds like exactly what I was driving in. If anything, tires had to much traction, no that doesn't sound right. Problem was driver hit the gas to hard, spun all four tires and spit out the grass and sod that was holding me up. No ruts, no tracks to rock it back and forth, so down I sit on the diffs and frame.
