well the machine is at a hunt camp or property of some sort. they dragged in in ther in the late 50's and by 1969 the machine was parked and rendered useless in the bush as the rocks just pounded everyone around. i will get some pics and post them. thanks for the input , and like i saud any ideas to get it out of the bush will help. I am on the hunt now for a skidder as this seems to be the machine of choice with the guys i work with.

the ground preasuer will be sginificantly less with the tracks on, you may find the tracks seized and the brakes stuck on like mine, i would perhaps consider tracks off (and as much weight out of the carrier) then drag onto some home made skids (with a wide base on) then it may slide over surfaces and stumps easier.

i agree make it as light as possible.
Because the ground is just about frozen i would make sure i jacked it out of the mud onto some 2/4's or something. Then once winter hits i would use some make shift skis and pull it over the snow with something like a work horse.

I agree with KrisHamilton on the jacking up onto some planks, to skid it out. I had my carrier recovered recently from a rough area. If you want, I can send you the pictures of the recovery?It may give you some idea`s.

A little off this issue, but still on the same topic. A toy for some a across the way, who may need some recovery assistance, check this out it, might do the trick.. E bay # 330384860695

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.
