An example of the effort required to extract timber from various locations, slopes and hard to reach places. Here a farmer’s field is being used to access a devastated wood where a fairly heavy tracked machine with winch is hauling out the cross cut logs.

Can anyone name the type of tracked tractor and its model/size?
