I have seen people bend heavy metal like this by heating one side of it with a torch and tossing cold water on it. It makes an awful noise, but with enough heat on one side of the metal, it can be made to curve. Just like when welding, metal always curves with the heat. I think circle track car guys can set camber into a solid read end with this method also.

I made my own plow out of a rider mower blade ( http://waynesphotoes.homestead.com/plow.html ). It wouldn't be strong enough for pushing logs. You could check out an old hot water heater tank cut in half.
