Not being funny but i would try backing the brakes off and see if giveing it a tug with a 4x4 on a solid bar A frame makes it move,the tracks should free off thats how i freed my tracks if not split the tracks nothing to loose.

carrier recovery
When I began restoration of my mortar carrier I bought a parts carrier which was on tracks and bogies but missing armor etc. -to free up the tracks I put it in neutral and pulled it around my property here with my tractor -the tracks freed themselves -I think being pulled 5 or 10 miles out of the bush will do it more good than harm-don't overdo it lest you harm the transmission

thanks everyone for your ideas this will help me alot. it is nice to hear that some of the tracks did free up. i dont want to jump the gun but being optomistic on this recovery is a must.
thanks again Pete Harris

my pal up Thunder Bay pulled a number of carriers out of the scrub with the aid of a good chainsaw and a timber jack as a towing vehicle, pending on how severe your is located i would spend great time on selecting the recovery vehicle...... landrovers are excelent but only to a degree.... and you dont want to end up recovering two vehicle buddy
 any pics of its locale ?

It's not too far away....
...or too far in the bush.
As stated , I wouldn't cut the tracks untill I had to. Maybe pull the axles. Do a google earth look and determine if there is a road closer. Ordinance map recce to assess the ground, time and space constraints. Two or three serious off - roaders on dirt bikes confirm that the routes are good. And now the good part: two or three carriers to ferry the recovery crew and tow the cripple out. I know a few land rover -types that would start to quiver if you proposed an expitition like this.
