I’m only guessing and rambling here, but Harry’s 646 has the fairly aggressive tire which would make it hard to spin.
And I don’t know right off what rear tire height on a 646 is, but those tires look tall. Let’s say for ramble sakes, original rear tire height is 27” and the tires on there now are 31”, that’s quite a change in rear differential gearing, which would make it much harder to spin the tire. Like sorta going from 3:55 gears to 3:08’s.
Just my thought. Could be wrong.

Your on the right track, we swapped the 24" tires on our 555 backhoe with the 28" off the 4500. It makes a big difference in traction and float.
We have a lot of the swallow you up sand here, I end up like jancoes pic often. The nice thing with a hoe is you can usually drag/push/pull yourself out.
Harry's bigger tires help him but also take more power to turn them.

It's been raining almost everyday since I dug the trench. It filled up with water after a rainy day, then it rained again yesterday. I'm thinking about pumping the water out because it's backing up in the garden area. I can't imagine how much the garden would have flooded if I didn't dig the trench.

I'll bet that fresh dug dirt is like pudding Harry.

You dug that trench right on time! Good that the garden is saved!
We had quite a bit of rain too, in the last few days. The hole left from the stump I dug out is full of water! My wife said, go ahead continue, we may as well have a swimming pool
I put in an old sump pump that I use to drain the water off my pool cover. It took a few hours to get it to drain like in the pic. Yes it is like pudding out there. I was hoping to dry it out, but it's supposed to rain again tomorrow!
no more mow it's time to blow
