Another alternative would be to get ahold of a 3pt. hitch skidding winch. If you have a smaller tractor with 3 pt., they work well. I have seen them used for $1500. A smallercrawler with a winch would also be good for smaller jobs. A friend of my dad's used a 310 Case crawler with a rear winch to draw sawlogs and firewood logs for years.I have skidded some fair sized logs with a Ford Naa or 4000 , if you chain logs to a 3 pt. drawbar you'd be surprised what these little tractors can do. The only limitation tothis method is you have to get close to the log to hook up, this is where a winch would be nice.
