If this is something you plan to do more than once, build something like this log skidder. I made it for pulling logs out of the woods where my tractor can't get to (tight trees and steep hills). It works perfectly. Automatically picks the log off the ground when you move forward. If going down hill, it can't hit you because it will slowly come down and more friction on the ground will slow it to a stop. Stores easily as well. No weight for the tractor (or ATV, UTV, etc) to carry.
Your log arch looks like a heavier-duty version of the Norwood Skidmate.
Nice protection on the wheels.
