As someone else mentioned, with the extremely small clearance of the tracks to the box, it is not designed to go in mud. Clay soils would just destroy that setup over time.
So it must be designed for peat ground. Peat needs the flotation of those tracks, but it doesn't smear and ball up like clay soils would.
So, peat harvest or cart dealie.
But I sure don't know how it works, see that stuff in Europe still.
Back in the Great Depression the next peat bog over from mine caught fire and burned for a year and a half from the stories I hear. Very odd ground to farm, but with drainage it can make good corn. Mine is high ph, so hard to make good soybeans, but in a dry year it can work. It is very different dirt, you sink in to the rim with a regular tire whether it's dry or wet, and plant growth is different in it.
Harvesting the peat itself would be odd, dig a wet hole deeper and deeper......

And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
