Chain recommendation

Pulling logs and tree’s
The chain that you linked in the OP will work in a pinch, but there are significantly better options available to you. For skidding, you should look into wire rope chokers. They are a much better option for most log skidding applications. One of the nicest things about it is that you can push it under a log, which, of course, isn't possible with chain. Chain has it's place for skidding though. For that, you'll want a hook like this. 4 Pack 5/16" Slip Logging Chain Choker Hook Metal Log Hook with 2 Tons 4400 LBS | eBay
These hold the chain in place when you want them to and won't break on the first use like the latch on that one in your first link will. They're also very handy to have for other chain uses besides just skidding. I have half a dozen 9/32 grade 80 chains with a lift rated hook on one end and a slip hook like that on the other.
