we'd used AC WD45's and D17's and a 9N ford but it is pretty light.. we keep the wheels in narrow to fit between the trees but its not as safe... protect the radiator (could buy fuel oil for the cost of the radiator repair). You'll definately want some weight and good traction tires as the woods floor probably hasn't been packed down by driving and can get pretty soft and muddy. we like heavy ply truck snow tires on the front as they don't get peirced by sticks quite as bad but they don't steer as good as tractor tires.. ROPS are nice for safety however they can get in the way with trees.. wide front can be a bit safer, easier to steer and less likely to get both wheels stuck in a hole at the same time but are less manuverable and you can snap an axle off if 1 wheel hits a hole.. narrow fronts are easier to manuver in tight places but (see above)... good luck and be safe.
