without a skidder

A good electric winch chained to a tree with the bull line as high as you can get has served me well in the past. Just another idea for you, good luck.
 
Another tip when pulling/winching trees over is to cut your backcut LOWER than the face (basically a reverse Humbolt). Stops the trunk potentially pulling off the stump. I had this happen once when trying to tow over a big heavy leaner then read this trick in an Australian New South Wales Forestry Manual - I'm surprised how many people have never heard of it and don't do it.
