900 winch options

Ramsey and Warn are the primary name brands for quality winches.
Haven't looked at the new ones but the 3000# fit in the cubby hole that's built in.
My 3000# Ramsey will drag my RTV with the emer brake on and foot pushing on the brake pedal.
Since you're dragging logs, I'd recommend getting the wireless remote. This will allow you to be next to the log with a cant hook to avoid snagging.
I'd also suggest getting rid of the steel cable and get some Amsteel rope.

The winch fits in the cubby and the RTV has the bolt pattern already in place for Warn and Ramsey.
When I'm skidding logs, I use a short logging chain or 6' strap around the logs then connect that to the Amsteel so my winch rope isn't being dragged. I don't drag my logs onto trailers but would think you could pad the rub area.

Great advice, I use one from Harbor Freight but it's for occasional use. For what you describe, buy a good one and set it up like BCZoom says.
