skidding logs with tractor?

[shavey]

it looks like you might have sorted your skidding now you might have to watch if your on sideling ground with the long lengths when they take the hill and roll sideways you have quite a high hitch they could pull you sideways i have had it happen before

 

looks like you got a years work ahead of you good luck

Looking good, fair play. Interesting to see how you get on.

 

Personally I would have gone for something like this instead of welding the ring on direct:

 

Grade 80 weld on D-ring - Lifting attachment EN1677 -China manufacturer--Webbing Sling_Chain_Wire Rope_Clip_Shackle_Turnbuckle_Swaging Sleeves_Lifting_Rigging_Ratchet Binder_Qingdao Superior Industrial Co.,Ltd

 

I would probably have mounted it laterally also as opposed to longitudinally. Allowing the ring to move will dramatically reduce the forces you are dealing with/creating.
