Yeah I'm leaning towards a cut size machine just to help with traction. And it will definitley be 4wd with the fel as id like to have the grapple with it to help with downed trees and brush.
A grapple can make a tractor unstable on slopes. However, while your mowing area is steep, you have not described the balance of your wooded land.
Consider a spring-protected Field Cultivator/All Purpose Plow for dragging roots out of the ground then transporting large amounts of piled, interlocked material to your burn pit. The Three Point Hitch is built for heavy work with weight bearing on the thick, solid rear axle. The FEL is not. Loads are dragged on the ground with a Field Cultivator.
