Places like Northern Tool and TSC used to carry gravity operated tongs (you lift or drag, they clamp). Weren't very expensive as I recall. Little quicker than a chain. Might consider that. But be careful when trying to cutdown on time, sometimes the old slower way is safer, and even quicker in the long run.

Just keep in mind if you use the loader, keep it low so don't end up with a log rolling down onto you, or if dragging keep the chain short as possible so if slips doesn't come whipping at you like a slingshot. Good luck.
