Been looking at YouTube vids of these machines. There's loads of varients on the theme, from diesel hydraulic powered mini skid-steers to shonkey Russian home made contraptions driven my a pair of strimmer motors. The iron horse looks to fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. It has massively wide tracks, would be ideal on snow and mud, but necessary for our climate? It also has a built in winch, which puts it apart from the generic tracked micro dumpers, but I would question if the winch is really needed. If the machine is small enough to navigate between trees, then it should be able to get right up to the felled timber, and if not, then one could always use a retchet chain hoist to get the extra reach.
