Duals on grass

Has anyone tried dual wheels for grassland slurry application? We always run 710s at low pressure but ground conditions at present are horrendous with little signs of improvement on the horizon. At some point we will HAVE to spread and the clock’s ticking to get the nutrient on for the first cut. So duals seem like the obvious choice for a cheap way to travel lighter; but will they block up with mud between the wheels? It would only be on the rear - we have a set of 800 wide floatations on the front.

yes yes yes I know, you should wait for ground to improve. But we’re completely flat lying land, below sea level, and without a prolonged dry spell with a good wind it’s going to take a very long time to get the ground back into good shape

If it is that wet do you think the slurry will do any good and not just get in all the water course
