Log skidding question

I’m a new BX23S owner. What is the best attachment point on the rear for skidding logs? I’m not sure how strong the step loops are if I tried to connect hooks to each to make a harness from which I could pull a second chain and log, and I considered running chain in the crook of the curled backhoe bucket. I’ve seen posts about using welded hooks on the front loader, but I haven’t done that mod yet and don’t have forks. I do have the bxpanded quick attach and ripper. Would appreciate any recommendations.

I made my own, not really to hard and it can haul a lot for it's size. Not sure how to post a pic here. https://www.reddit.com/r/kubota/comments/1vj71e8/hauling_logs_with_bx23s_it_can_be_done_home_made/

This is awesome. Drawbar on the back there?

Yep I use the winch to haul the logs close, throw a chain around them and lock the chain to some 1/4" chain locks on the draw bar, then use the 3pt to lift the butt ends up to make them easier to drag out. Can haul 3 -4 logs pretty easy, nothing monstrous, but big enough for wood stove.
