If your compact track loader or skid steer walks a track off in deep mud, it is almost never bad luck. Mud attacks tension, packing, and tread choice at once.
1. Tension goes soft when mud packs
Wet clay packed in the undercarriage changes how the belt sits. Clean the rails and re-check tension after heavy mud shifts — still using your OEM manual procedure.
2. Closed tread packs into slicks
A turf Multi-Bar that was perfect on lawns can pack solid in clay. For mud-heavy CTL work, move to C-Lug / C-Block or self-cleaning Zig-Zag.
