Look like they haven’t been watered and are suffering from wind desssication, too much top and too little root or available moisture water well and put up a wind break, mulch heavily and remove 1/3 of the branches either by tipping back or cutting at trunk. is it right tree right place probably too large a specimen if they fail try much smalller and a tree tube
  3. Shouldn’t be a problem drop in new auger torque teeth if you bring it round will do it for you
  4. There is a big difference between ground protection and bog mats, these 8 x 4 mats will just let the machine slid of if used in the wet, true mats are timber baulks bolted together if really wet I’ve used sleepers stitched together four / five is about as much as a three tonne digger can handle, then hay make your way out and back using as many as you can afford
