Third generation logger, owner operator, 30 yrs felling experience with pole skidder. I got my neck broke back in 89, left me a quad. The wife kept the job going up to 96.

Anything over a mile or two in a tracked machine would be painfully slow.

You are right, tracked machines need short distances to landings cause they are rough riding and slow.

But the advantage of a rubber tired machine with steel tracks is they will go up to 15 MPH so you could go a mile in about 4 minutes. Doubt if you would go that fast in the woods unless you had a good road to travel, but they are far faster and smoother riding than a straight tracked machine. And on an eight wheeled machine, the bogey wheels smooth out the bumps.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I would look at Helicopters.  If they can make it pay in CA then it could probably pay anywhere. 
Always try it twice, the first time could've been a fluke.
