Do a search on "logging tongs" and I think you will enjoy the different approaches several are using. Myself, I like the logging tongs on the 3pt quick tach (Deere I-match, speedco, etc.) and with being careful of the front end getting light, pull all my logs out of the woods with that setup.
I have used this sytem for 40+ years, beginning with an 8N Ford, then a TO30 Ferguson, Deere 420, and now my Deere 4300.
Some claim the tractor will flip over backwards suddenly, which needs some interpretation as to what "suddenly" means. I've never felt uncomfortable pulling logs this way, as the tractor will give you plenty of time to react if the front end begins to come up - put the clutch in, lower the 3pt hitch, turn off the ignition key are three choices to get the front end to come back down. I usually only use one - that being lowering the 3pt. Sometimes the log will just be too big to pull this way. Then the chainsaw can shorten the log to make it easier.
With your tractor, I doubt you will have any problem pulling logs with it. Some trial runs will give you a good idea what you can do and what you cannot do, with or without the loader on (I like the extra weight of the loader).
Their are winch arrangements that go on the 3pt, and drop to the ground to prevent the tractor from rearing up, one such attachment is called a Farmi winch, but there are others (Fransgaard) as well. They do a better job of snaking in logs to the tractor for pulling out of the woods. Cost more too, than just a quick tach ($200) and logging tongs ($100).
