Swisher Tow-Behind ATV Log Skidder – 1200 lb Capacity (Model 22020)
Move large logs faster, safer, and with far less effort using the Swisher Tow-Behind Log Skidder. Designed for use with your ATV or UTV, this heavy-duty skidder lets you easily transport logs up to 1200 lbs and 20 inches in diameter, turning demanding work into a quick, controlled operation.
Built with a rugged 2" powder-coated steel tube frame, the Log Skidder is engineered to withstand harsh conditions and years of real-world use. A hand-operated winch paired with sharpened lifting tongs allows you to lift logs off the ground without extra tools. Once raised, the included 92" log chain keeps your load securely in place.
By suspending the log as you tow, the Skidder virtually eliminates hang-ups, reduces drag, and prevents mud buildup — ensuring cleaner logs and smoother travel. Oversized 18” x 9.5” ATV tires with integrated bearings help float the load over rough, uneven terrain with confidence.
Proudly made in the USA with US & global parts.

Very happy with this log skidder. It is light enough for single-person use, hooking up to the truck or tractor and moving it around for storage by hand. But also strong enough to haul logs; 20" diameter, 10ft long, no problem. The winch is excellent, not just for lifting the front of the log for transportation, but to pull the log to the skidder, too. The tong is good size, and grips without fail. I use it in combination with a yard glider under the log, hooked to the skidder's chain hooks, to further reduce drag. Highly recommended.
Granted, at this time - I have not had a chance to use the actual log skidder; however, I just wanted to share some feedback on both Wood Splitters and Swisher. First off, the ordering process was quick and unit shipped in no time and arrived within a week at a great price!! About half of MSRP and several hundred below other online vendors. Second, upon arrival - there was some minor damage to the hardware bag, which caused a few of the bolts, nuts and spacers to fall out. No other damage to the unit. I reached out to Wood Splitters and response within a few minutes saying they would get in touch with Swisher to get the replacement parts on order. This was a Friday, on Monday Swisher reached out to clarify the missing parts (since I messed up the list myself, so it confused them understandably). Parts arrived two days later and the unit is up and ready to go. In looking over the skidder, it is definitely well made and powder coating has no visible issues. This thing weighs in about 220 pounds, in comparison to 70 for a similar unit sold by Northern Tools. If I have any issues, I'll update this review - but for now, I'm not expecting anything to report but more good things!! :-)
What’s the longest lengths this can haul out?
8, 10, 12’?
Hello,
There really isn’t a maximum long length. As long as the claws fit around the log it can pull it. Depends on what you are using to haul it out as well.
Thanks, WSD
