I miss my D3... put in a lot of fire trails on steep hillsides that when done would allow me to drive any car in all weather... had it 17 years... just ran out of work for it.
Now use a Deere 350C and one of the reasons we settled on the 350 is because I can move it with my truck and trailer... the 350 is like a little mountain goat... goes just about anywhere and really pulls... not near as capable for fire trails but it does get the job done...
One thing tracked equipment excels at is pulling out wheeled equipment mired in the bog...
A quadratrac jeep was stuck up to it's axles and then two CUT tractors were pulling in tandem and digging in... I moseyed on over with the D3 and it was a walk in the park... plucked all 3 like harvesting carrots.

I am ALWAYS the towee.
The only thing more embarrassing then getting everything and anything stuck, is having my bride have to grab the Kubota to help tow out the John Deere 850 mired in the mud. Having someone take a photo of it was almost as bad.
