just to update my original post.

after much thought and retesting a serviced quad bike( still unable to skid log up the track). i opted for the largest walk along tracked dumper i could afford. even with worn tracks and an engine which has seen better days (soon to be a honda) it skidded the log with ease. once an electric winch is fitted and a tow bar for the trailer is should work as a poor mans ironhorse.

 

the ransome fitted the bill but ive had enough of sitting on something, on steep ground which wants to roll onto me.

 

thanks for all the help.

With a bit of tinkering, i think that you will a good buy there, particularly if you add some scaffold poles for bolsters you will be able to carry a tidy load.
