CATEGORY 1 & 2 SKIDDING PLATE

Wallenstein FXP30 Category I & II Skidding Plate is a three-point tractor skidding plate designed for moving logs with tractors up to 80 engine horsepower. Built for forestry, land clearing, firewood handling, and general log-recovery work, the FXP30 lifts the front ends of logs to reduce the amount of log surface dragging across the ground. Two saddle grab hooks help secure loads, while four chain-holder slots provide convenient locations for managing chains when they are not in use. The removable hitch and integrated 2-inch receiver for a ball-mount towbar add versatility for compatible towing applications. This supplied model is identified as the yellow WAL FXP30-YEL dealer variant.

Efficient Log Skidding with a Three-Point Hitch

The Wallenstein FXP30 connects to Category I or Category II three-point hitches and is rated for tractors up to 80 engine horsepower. Its skidding plate design supports the front ends of logs, helping reduce drag during transport over suitable terrain. The two saddle grab hooks provide dedicated attachment points for securing logs, while the removable hitch allows the hitch component to be removed when required for the intended setup.

Four chain-holder slots help keep chains organized on the implement between uses or while preparing a load. The 2-inch receiver accepts a ball-mount towbar for compatible towing needs. With a total weight of 216 lb (98 kg), the FXP30 provides a substantial tractor-mounted platform while remaining suitable for three-point hitch installation on compatible tractors.
