Quick take
Hauling felled timber, stumps, sand, or gravel around a property comes down to one question: can your tow rig lift the load clear of the ground, or is it just dragging weight? A log skidder arch handles that lift, and the four listings here offer two different approaches. One ATV-focused arch states the highest load figure in the group; a silver cart states its own load figure; and two gray arch carts share a heavy-duty steel build. The listed prices sit across a clear spread, with the holder set at the bottom and the arch-style cart at the top. Your choice narrows once you match the mounting style and load figure to your towing setup.

Product notes
ATV Log Skidding Arch, 1600 lbs
If a stated capacity is the first number you compare, this listing leads the set: it lists a 1600-lb load-bearing figure alongside a manual winch, two pneumatic tires, and a 2-inch ball-type trailer hitch coupler. That combination reads as a complete tow-behind arch rather than a bare frame. The trade-off is the mounting style - the ball-type hitch specification is more specific than the universal fitment claimed on the two gray arch carts, so it suits a trailer-hitch rig rather than a generic mount. At USD 259.60, it also sits above the silver cart and the gray holder set in listed price.
Heavy Logs Skidder Logging Trailer Cart
The silver finish makes this one easy to pick out, and the listing backs it with a 1500-lb load-bearing capacity, 16-inch wheels, and a baking-paint finish. It is also the only entry that uses freestanding/floor-mount wording, which gives you a different mounting approach than the ball hitch on the ATV arch or the universal fitment on the two gray carts. The limitation to weigh is the load figure: at 1500 lb, it is stated 100 lb below the ATV arch's figure. At USD 216.93, it lands between the cheapest gray holder set and the ATV arch in listed price.
Heavy Log Skidder Arch Steel Logging Trailer Cart
At USD 302.50, this is the top-priced listing in the comparison, and it is one of the two arch carts that explicitly list a powder-coated finish with anti-rust coating on heavy-duty steel. It also lists assembly accessories and assembly instructions as included, plus universal fitment and a ball-joint lift installation method. If you want the fullest written specification among the gray carts, this listing carries it. The limitation is the price itself: the other gray holder set is listed far below it and names the same color, finish, fitment, and installation method, so the higher listing price is the main point to reconcile before choosing.
Fits Universal Heavy Duty Log Skidder Arch Trailer Holder Set
At USD 179.00, this holder set is the least expensive listing in the comparison, yet it still carries the same heavy-duty steel finish wording and universal fitment as the top-priced arch cart. Assembly accessories and instructions are listed as included, and the installation method is the same ball-joint lift. If the gray cart style is what you need and price is the tiebreaker, this is the listing to start with. The limitation is the framing: the title describes it as a "trailer holder set" rather than an arch or logging trailer cart, so the bundle reads as a more component-level configuration than the full arch wording used on the other listings.
Final recommendation by use case
For a trailered ATV rig that wants the highest stated load figure in this group, the ATV Log Skidding Arch is the listing to start with - it pairs that figure with a manual winch and a ball-type hitch coupler. The Heavy Logs Skidder Logging Trailer Cart is the lower-priced way to a stated capacity of its own, just with a different mounting description. Between the two gray carts, the Heavy Log Skidder Arch Steel Logging Trailer Cart carries the fullest written specification, while the Fits Universal Heavy Duty Log Skidder Arch Trailer Holder Set delivers the same cart style at the lowest listed price in the comparison. If those two are your finalists, the deciding factor is the price spread between them rather than any difference in the listed finish.
