If you purchased a tracked dumper like the one above, I'd assume it would have a ROPS/OPS/FOPS? It would therefor be OK for a forest environment and the winch would just be a bolt on? 

Got one of these - 1.2 tonne payload - absolutely invaluable.

 

We use it for extraction, winching, towing chipper in woodland - you name it, it does it. Low ground pressure, low impact, reverse up 60 degree slopes (stated in manual),diesel, economical, low maintenance, ROPS, move it on a transit size vehicle or trailer. Goes well with a 1.5 tonne steel track mini digger with grip talon on the woodland. Could easily fit bolsters but haven't bothered.

13k new but there are decent ones around for 6-7K.

Ah yes, I was thinkng if you started from scratch but as you say it's just a bolt on which is an extra so no problem. With a remote for the winch a very useful tool as described above !
