Is there any strict requirement to having the fence maintained and functioning asap? Unless you're keeping animals in, there's probably no huge rush on it. Lots of fences are still built and maintained in remote areas by a little hand-bombing/dragging posts & wire to them by hand. We finished putting up a new fence around my father's farm a few years ago - 200 acres it a roughly square-ish shape, two sides of which you couldn't get a tractor to. It just takes a little longer, and an extra person if you want to hand-bomb a two man auger in there to drill holes easier.

But it's never a bad idea to have trails around the edge of your property: It lets neighbours know you know where your property lines are if nothing else.

This is completely not what you were thinking, but if it were me, I'd pass on the tracked skidsteer because it's a lot of extra $$ for something that probably won't serve your purpose too well. You SxS will probably do better than anything for getting to and maintaing the fence as it currently is. I'd instead get a Balfor 3.5 ton skidding winch for the back of you tractor and a portable sawmill (Norwood, SMG Champion, or similar). The combined total for both will probably come out to a fair bit less than a tracked skid loader, and you'll be able to clear your property line at your own convenience and mill the logs on your own time, using the milled lumber for trim/flooring/strapping/sheds and other outbuildings. The Balfor 3.5 isn't a very heavy winch, but it's about right for your tractor. The portable bandmills aren't the fastest machines in the world, but would be more than adequate for you to clear your trails, have lots of fun with, and not break the bank. Maybe even recover some costs by using your own lumber, and you'd find other uses for the equipment for years and years. It'd take a lot longer to get all the property lines clear, but does that really matter?
