Suggestion for timber forwarding on steep slope

Sorry for the needy post again; wondering how to extract hardwood thinnings down a steep slope to a tiny car park which is the only connection to the nearest road. A quad bike setup won't handle the slope (very steep) and access doesn't permit a normal tractor / timber trailer or forwarder etc. I either need a tracked compact forwarder or tracked machine that I can load the wood onto. Any ideas where I could either hire or contract one from?

Pictured is the biggest that would fit in this instance...

how big and what volume of timber is to be shifted?

How about a small skyline setup that is highly mobile. What's the maximum distance to the landing ?

All small wood; 3m long x 15" dia max. Volume not sure yet - not much but worth extracting for firewood. 50m3 maybe more...

Tiny distance - 100m ish... very small job but slope is a killer...

A small skyline would rattle the timber off there. Is it felled yet or standing ?

Better still i'll PM you my phone no. give me a call tomorrow for a chat if you want.

Nearly all felled now and on the deck in sporadic stacks... will look at pm now...

Ah, that could create a problem then if there is no suitable spar trees. Get some pics up or email me some.
