Overview
This accessory kit is built to help move logs with a portable winch, ATV, or tractor while reducing hang-ups on roots, stumps, and trees. The included skidding cone is designed to guide logs more cleanly and help protect the log during the pull, and its 20-inch size accommodates a single large log or several smaller ones. The kit also adds a range of rigging components, including a corner block, choker chain, pulling plate hitch anchor, grab hook with latch, and polyester sling, giving you a more complete setup for skidding and line management. It is a practical choice for hunters and landowners who need a organized, purpose-built hauling system rather than a single standalone accessory.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The kit is centered on skidding and log handling, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose winching setup.
- The 20" skidding cone size is practical for one larger log or several smaller ones, but it may not suit larger-diameter material.
- Several included components are sized around specific hitch, chain, and rope ranges, so compatibility should be checked before use.
- The package includes multiple accessories, which adds capability but also means more parts to manage and set up in the field.
