I bought an Igland 3601 it will either pull the log to the tractor,
or the tractor to the log.

If you have 2 different dealers with 2 different brands, I'd shop price 1st. then dealer consideration 2nd. Farmi & Wallenstein (I think) are similar enough to toss a coin although Farmi has been at it for a long time. The reason I put the dealer after the price, is that unless you really get a "lemon" or absolutely abuse it, I doubt you'll need him for years after the sale.
I have a question about winching options. My 40HP tractor PTO will not work unless I am in the tractor seat. I put something heavy in the seat when using the wood chipper, but this would be a bigger PITA using a skidding winch. I do have hydraulics at the rear -- both Power Beyond and Momentary. Is there such thing as a 3-Point hydraulic winch? I see Farmi has a hydraulic model designed for tractor front-mount which requires 10 gpm and pulls 6000 lbs 3 feet per second.
