Does your side by side in your avatar have a hitch? Go to HD and rent a small equipment trailer. They rent a really small one for hauling tillers, aerators, etc. Those items are light enough to not damage a septic field.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:If you aren't careful will the riding mower sink into the septic tank, drowning you in shit?!
And people think city life is tough. I don't see how you do it!
The septic tank is usually made of concrete. This is the first thing that the waste pipe from your house goes into. It is designed so that the solids stay in the tank, and break down over time via bacteria. The liquids are drained into a series of pipes called the drain field. The outlet of the septic tank to the drain field is pretty high up on the tank, so that it is only liquid that leaves. Once you get into the actual drain field, the pipes have a series of holes in them to spread out the liquid through a gravel and sand bed. In a way, the drain field looks like the plumbing of a radiator in your car when looking through the fins. Since this series of pipes is encased in gravel and sand, if you have too heavy of equipment with a small footprint, you can crack the pipes underground. A crack near the start of the field would greatly reduce the efficiency of the system, thus causing a prematurely full septic tank.
There is no day to day issue with this type of system. In fact, I am glad to be on my own well and sewer: it is much less expensive, and I know what is coming out of my faucet.
