[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6673015, member: 5764"] I was browsing Facebook and something triggered an idea. Can’t remember what the trigger was now though... Since you UK fellas feel wet ground is your biggest challenge when placing feed out for winter grazing. (I’m thinking placing bales spread out in a field for bale grazing vs daily delivery of feed here) Has anyone ever looked in to using or used something similar to rig mats? [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_mat[/URL] They’re super common here in the oil industry so you can never use the excuse your equipment is too heavy for them and tracks don’t rip them to shreds quickly. They are great at eliminating rutting and reduce compaction. If left too long or used too much they can and will alter the plants growing underneath and cause a lot of compaction but that would take a lot of use. They’d probably work slick to make a quick driveway through the centre of a field so that you can jump off and place a bale without having to drive so far on wet ground, minimizing your damage. When you’re done you’d just pick them up and stack them until next time. If only used for a day or so I doubt it’d even set back grass growth. [/QUOTE]
