car trailer advice
About winches.......nice. Having said that, I've gotten by since the early 70's with two come-a-longs. I replaced the hooks on both with "grab" hooks, and just piggy-back them onto a length of chain, so when one "runs out" I can start the other one
I've hauled some impressively heavy stuff that way, including the slug-of-a van I junked. It would not roll, the rear axle was locked. Two of us had to come-a-long that heavy ***** up on the trailer (the old metal one then) with nothing more than wet tires to make it slide easier
