Skip have used those tongs not a ton but a fair amount. Nothing can fly any further than what ever is flexible so if hooked right to draw bar and only way I have used them rear of tractor is as far as they could flip. I have never had an issued with them but then am not one who would run 15 mph using them. If you are using decent speed and have the front end lifted find them coming loose very seldom if set right. Do think the short cable on a 3 pth will be much less able to lift the log clear to pull it creating more issues. Would not recommend using the tongs with a chain or cable but hooking direct to the draw bar to lift the log.

Now Murf is the logging pro and my Dad was and he is who I inherited the tongs from.
