Default Quite the challenge....

If the weather stays mild as forecasted the frost in the ground will not be very deep......

I would suggest..... if you can manoeuvre around the UC to try tugging at 90 degrees to the track...... front corner than rear corner....repeat on the opposite side......maybe pulling/tugging back and forth.....once loose you are home free.

The propane tiger torch will be slow and chances of the rubber wheels burning before thawing is a good possibility.

As suggested you will no doubt have to remove the rear axles to rool free.

If it was my property I would pour old engine oil on the bottom section of the tracks for ...alledgedly lubrication purposes......... but really to soak into the ground if the weather thaws enough and the oil would keep the soil from freezing again too hard..... old junk yard trick.
