Put some fat tires on it. I put 12.5 ags on mine, and my back yard is a friggin' swamp rite now, barely got above the wrap around tread on the sidewall, and, hardly spun a tire.

You would be able to mitigate some of the damage by putting tubes in all your tires and lowering the air pressure in all tires. This would make the tires float over wet ground easier. The reason to put tubes in the tires is because if you lower the tire pressure too low without tubes in them you run the risk of running the tires off the bead. With tubes in the tires you can run much lower air pressure without a high risk of running the bead off the rim.

Can you see WHY the 'yard doesn't drain well' and figure out a solution ? In the long run you 'win'.
Check the following thread:
Dual rear wheels on a BX
A number of guys say the BX tractors can be tippy …. has anybody come up with a dual rear wheel mod ??

For those that do not read the thread I referenced...a cut and post from Post #29
"I have a Kubota BX25 and I have a set of duals on the back and on the front not for being tippy but for floatation I run mine through a lot of swampy ground with a 4 foot brush hog and anyone with a BX knows they are useless in any real mud because of ground clearence there is no clearence but with the front and back duals it floats on top and works great I have been 5+ years on duals without a single issue and have mowed hundreds of swamp acres no one else seems to want to touch..."
