You are correct, woods tractor's take a beating. In the 50s and early 60s dad and grandpa used a pair of FMDs to skid hardwoods. They bucked the logs in the woods. You, just back the tractor up to the bucked logs and set a pair of tongs, lifted the three point and away you went. In the winter they ran chains on one and halftracks on the other.
