You could use one of these to transmit power but the length is pretty limited.

Otherwise drive the tractor alongside the rails to power the saw and move it.

My brother hired a sawyer who had a Woodmiser with a 40hp turbo diesel. It wasn't underpowered. Lots of hydraulics and good control with the operator on a seat that moved with the carriage.

Edit : It's Wood Mizer. The one I saw was similar to this: YouTube - Wood-mizer Portable Sawmills - LT40 Super Hydraulic
