Sounds like you might need to just tow it out to a good place.
If the route is amenable I would couple the two together and push it off in as high gear as practical and then let it tow the other machine with the clutch disengaged. Maybe the clutches will break free on the trip.

It's in a pretty tough spot. I think I'll give it a shot this year and see how far I get. I'm just disgusted at this point working on it in the woods and being 55 miles from my shop.
Hi Team,
perhaps also check that the winch has not been accidentally engaged and with the drum brake applied it would cause parasitic load--drag.
For safety reasons the main clutch should be engaged when you are not in the seat so that the trans. cannot be accidentally bumped into gear and the machine move off.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
