Pihl Logging on the Axe Men show has a yarder built on a WWII Sherman tank chassis.
Unfortunately, the Sherman drivetrain was barely adequate for the weight of the tank turret. The winches and tower are much heavier, and these conversions are prone to transmission and track failures.
I guess there was a farmer around where I grew up that bought a surplus tank and tried to use it like a crawler tractor back in the '50s. It sucked down every drop of gasoline he had on the farm in about 2 rounds with the plow, so it didn't stay around long.
