Overview
Built for moving logs with a portable winch, ATV, or tractor, this skidding cone helps keep timber from hanging up on roots, stumps, and standing trees while also reducing damage to the log itself. Its high-grade polymer construction is described as strong yet flexible, making it a practical tool for regular woods work. The 20-inch size is suited to hauling a single log of that diameter or several smaller logs at once. It is also intended for year-round use in temperatures down to -22°F, which makes it a straightforward option for cold-weather logging tasks.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Sized for logs up to 20" in diameter, so larger stems will require a different setup or a different cone size.
- Designed for use with a portable winch, ATV, or tractor; it is not a standalone solution for moving logs.
- The 12 lb. weight and 26" x 20" dimensions add bulk, so transport and storage take some planning.
- Its flexible polymer construction is intended to protect logs and help them slide, but that also means it is not a rigid metal skid accessory.
