Hi Everyone, I agree with everyone that said that hooking a chain to a rear wheel and a tree was dangerous but there were few options in the late 50s and early 60s. When we had a 300U our other tractor was a JD 420. If the 300U was really bogged the 420 could not pull it out. The only option was a tree or spin the wheels on the 420 until they were in the ground about 8" then use it as an anchor and attach a chain to the wheel of the 300U. Re chains, we only used grade 90 chains of 5/16", 3/8" or 1/2" and used the appropriate chain for the load.
If I was hauling logs with a tractor today, I would purchase a 3pt mounted PTO driven logging winch like the one at this site:http://www.hud-son.com/JL601.htm. The advantages are that you never have to worry about tipping over backwards when a log catches a rock or if you get stuck you can use the winch to pull the tractor out.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
