Might be worth seeing if you can rent a telehandler type 4x4 forklift to make the move. When I did steel building construction, we were able to pull a 150 ton crawler crane out of the mud with one and not sink ourselves.
With the telehandler type unit, you can move the load very low to the ground by extending the boom, set it down and creep the unit up to the load and then repeat if need be, rather than just powering thru.

So looks like I will be getting a forklift and using the swamp mat method or similar to that, just a bunch of timber hardwood sleeper about 3 inch thick by 6.5 feet long by a footish wide about 17 of them. Ill drive up on them to the last sleeper, I can get out of the forklift and the sleepers left behind ill move them to the front of the forklift and continue forward and repeat this till I reach my rear garage.
If I remember during this excitement ill take pics. Hopefully no accidents. Ill keep the weight low as possible during this procedure.

The video is nice. But I would have solved the swamp once and for all. Yes, it would do a lot of work and time, but the swamp would cease to exist where I don't want it.

Hi guys
Small update, so I got my machine and forklift, but there's an old section of concrete at the end of my driveway which pretty much crumbled under the load of the forklift and machine, so I had to back out as I didn't want to risk tipping or bogging. So I didn't even reach the "swamp mats"/timber sleepers, I got about half way to where I want to be (Which is my back garage) Did someone mention using a skid plate? Where the machine can sit on a steel plate half inch thick basically and dragged up on the grass/crumbled concrete?? (Using a winch) The machine is 3 ton. Its no light weight but not too extreme. Thanks Bart
