Seems to me that raising the back of the log and then lowering the 3pt and then chaining the front of the log before raising the 3pt to clear the ground is a lot of back and forth.
Why not put another winch to lift the front. That way you pull over the log, lift both ends and put on the safety chains and go. Only out of the seat once and no raising and lowering of the 3pt
To do that, the 2nd winch would have to be off center or under the frame. I'm not sure I want to place a winch off center. I don't want to install one under the frame where the log will be. You're correct though, my original plan does have a lot of back and forth movement.
