You forgot swinging yarder and carriage. We used an old lattice boom LinkBelt 98 -- rubber tire (self mobilizing was a huge bonus). It'd do just fine out to 1,200.
Find ya a rubber tire or tracked machine and get to logging! Also, mechanical carriages are underrated (compared to motorized).
If you're clearcutting, and the fallers are worth a salt, you can yard out some wood in a hurry.
IMHO, towers are good, but only if your distances are greater. . . They're big, powerful machines, but might be overkill for 400 yards. They also cost more to mobe, and to purchase.
Just do some good research, and you'll do okay.
