I think that machine could be moved with 500 or 1000 ft of cable, enough sheaves to rig about a 12 part line and start connecting to them bigger trees. A good log skidder backed against one of them trees and geared down with the multipart line would slowly winch that right up out of there. I would hook thru both tracks if I couldn't get to a better hook point and just slide it. It would not have to move far before the back came up enough to run it. The boom cylinders oil pressure could be relieved to allow it to float out straight and drag as needed. Still expensive but doable. What do you all think.
