All credit to Kevin Russell here, lovely machine and I’m certain serious work/thought has gone into this.
 
Certainly that’s where the machine is going to be pulling the most and you can face the direction of travel.
 
The grab weight won’t be as critical either, but to load it you need a rotating grab really.

Was just thinking about this sort of set up after looking at the thread on shears and thought it'd work really well on a 8t machine, wounder how he's got it piped up?

I really like this set up. Kind of mini swamp loggers.

if mounted on blade though, would be easy enough to flip a track off when dragging load “in reverse “?

 

Really depends on the machine, condition of the tracks/idlers and if it has the correct guides fitted.

 

I can vouch for steel tracked Kubota’s with the guides fitted by the idler, take some throwing off.

I knew I’d seen another, straightforward big timber grab utilised here.

Wish I could find the pictures but had a huge wagon grab mounted on a old axle which we towed behind a county 1174 with a early botex on the roof 20 years ago, very productive but very uncomfortable to used and almost impossible to reverse so picked up the drag and carried it which I guess you could do something similar with a smaller digger.
