mudboggin good for enviroment?

How Mudbogging Actually Improves The Enviroment
As a swamp ages, surface vegetation constantly eats away at the vital nutrients and minerals that are contained in the upper level of the soil. Unless there are Mudboggers, once these nutrients are gone, the ecosystem dies. You see, Mudbogging reverses this process by churning the soil. Mud tires drag the vegetation down into the soil where it can decay to become fertile ground for new growth. At the same time, mud tires bring up fertile new soil from the depths of the swamp and spread it evenly over the surface. An excellent byproduct of soil churning is tire ruts. These depressions create an excellent place for water to gather, making them a sanctuary for frogs, their young, birds, and a watering hole for larger animals such as deer. This is why Mudbogging has such a vital role in the ecosystem of wetlands

Do you think you could tie in the massive exhuast output we make when were gettin in too deep? What about when we bust Diff pumpkins? Oil pans? Trannies explode?

Thats pretty clever, though I dont think that youll ease the tree huggers with it...

Yeah, you are right, but that is only temporary because I am going to come in after you have done all this beneficial re-vamping of the ecosystem, churn the new soil back down to where it was, bring the old crappy stuff back up, kill all the new vegitation that was able to grow and all the while kill all the little creatures and frogs that cant slide between the tread of my boggers man.........it was a good thought if only for an instant......and with all them dead frogs and what not just laying around the deer arent really going to want to drink too much of that nasty stuff.....

As for the frogs not fitting into the lugs of your boggers, I have a very simple resolution to that problem. CUT BOGGERS! In my neighbors, you can dang near lose his 7 year old in 'em.

Uh, plants breathe CO2, that is, Carbon dioxide...
Dont forget about synthetic oils...
and the not-so-big-of-a-problem-problem- tire particles. "Bad for asthma."

That makes me think...Can you get a ticket for smokin your tires for about 30 seconds?

Waitin to see these boggers man, I like mine the way they are but hell if I can figure out how to do it I'll cut 'em up. I bought them used and have about half or a little less tread on them so cutting could help out a bit, but I've never done it before......is it hard to do? What would I need to do it?

just time consuming. i have seen ppl take a sawzall with a modified blade (grind the teeth off) and then cut all the smaller lugs out. as the blade warms up it actually melts through and has a nice clean cut to it!

Yeah it's called a disturbing the peace or even reckless driving. Reckless is kinda stupid though, because they can give one to you if you don't reck.
