Personally, I wouldn't use a tractor for that clearing. I think you would not be able to move enough and the terrain would likely stop you from adequately using its strengths.
Remember, the idea and basic design of a tractor is towing. Whereas the design of a CTL is to grab and lift.
With those pictures, I would go CTL hands down. I don't think anything else would stand a chance.
I'm still not sure that a 7000# machine will be able to do what you want... but that is another story.
heh... and there you have it. 2 posts with the same basic information coming to completely different conclusions. heh... gotta love forums.
