I spoke to the sales bloke a few months ago - he did a demo for us. I think they hire anywhere in the UK. £300 pw, but delivery might be the killer.

What about a compact 4x4 tractor (Kubota B7100 on agric tyres) and trailer?

Too narrow and unstable on banks..............the reason i sold mine was because of this and it had dual wheels with weights and underbody weights.

Forget the trailer it will tip over too easily. I have used a B6000 Kubota to drag small loads out and also with using Pallet Forks and stacking timber on it. Straight up and down is okay but turning on a slope is very iffy. Either way its all slow and you can't carry that much.
