I really like those little rigs but I wonder about the quality, parts, etc. Also I bet theyre not cheap by any means. Someone has pictures of them on the net with a fami winch on it pulling some wood. Here's a link http://www.chinaimporters.com/tractors/kitsap/dozer.htm

I just got a Bulldog Dozer which is made by the same company as the Nortracs. The Bulldog has pedal steer and a hydraulic reversing clutch. It has 8 speeds forward and reverse.  I got a Farmi 351 winch for it and it pulls great. It get's around good in the woods because of its small size. I'm going to build a log arch to pull behind the winch to lift the logs up more and it will pull a bigger load then. I have pulled a 24"+ x 40' Oak log with no problem.

I have a Jinma tractor which is basically the same as Nortrac and have gotten my moneys worth out of it. I beat the crap out of it and it hasn't let me down. Might not be the prettiest fit and finish but has the weight and attitude to get the Job done. Check oput the pics on  my Web P{age if you get a chance....
