Overview
Built for moving cut timber from the woods to the landing, this skidding plate is aimed at hunters and landowners who need a straightforward way to tow logs with a vehicle. Its angled steel plate, double-pull chains, chain binder, and clevis pins are designed to secure logs for controlled skidding, while the 2" tow ring fits over a 2" ball for easy hookup. The compact, break-down design also makes it easier to store when the job is done. It is a practical tool for rough ground and longer pulls, though it is focused on log handling rather than general towing tasks.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a 2" ball for towing, so it may not suit setups that use a different hitch size.
- The 25" x 25" plate size is useful for a range of logs, but it also means the unit is a substantial piece of equipment to handle and store.
- It is designed for skidding logs over rough terrain, so it is not intended as a general-purpose towing accessory.
- The product breaks down for compact storage, but the chain-and-pin setup still adds multiple components to manage during use and transport.
