As others have said get some local professional help from a wrecker service.
Depending on the lay of the land where it is at you could either...

Winch it back on all four wheels and then away from tree and just let it sit there till the ground dries and drive it off.

Do above but have them return for the drive off if ground is real steep. They could hook to it and slowly let it roll down the hill to ground where you can drive it.

Hook to it and pull it up hill and up a set of ramps to get it on drive.

Hook to it and pull it up hill to wall then re-hook and pick it up and set on drive.

Many ways of doing it. just depends on the lay of the land. By the time you rent equipment to do it yourself you can pay some one to do it and let their insurance take the risk of further damage.
A roll back truck is not going to be big enough. You will need a one ton are larger with double winches. One with a hydraulic extendable boom would be a plus. They even make air bags to go under the tractor that when inflated will stand it up on all four wheels. Professional recovery wreckers will know what to use and have it on hand.
