If the Hoot could make it through a long mud hole like this ,,I,d be VERY impressed !  Both of us eventually made it to the end of this long mud hole ,,but not with out some SERIOUS effort !

Ok for me this is where I would give a quad with lift and big tyres the advantage. It appears to me the mud is floating you and your not getting down to solid ground for decent traction and the mud has too much suction as the body is a large surface area that causes drag...
