I've been using a 2500lb ATV winch for years now. I plan on upgrading to the Harbor Freight 5,000lb with a remote control.

I use an ATV winch, too. I have a tilt trailer so I needed to keep the weight down. My Superwinch LT4000 only weighs 24 lbs. and mounts on the trailer bed without upsetting the balance. It has just enough torque to pull my 3200 lb. Mustang up the slope of the bed. I added a bunch of wire to the remote to make it long enough to walk the car all the way to the trailer. 16 feet from the winch to the rear deck and the remote is only 12 feet. I'm going to get a snatch block to increase the pull of the winch so I can load in the drive this season. It's an uphill slope.

I have used a Harbor Freight 2500# to load 3200 lb Jeep - works but marginal. I suggest a 3500# unit - bought on Amazon for $89. Harbor Freight has coupons and most of the winches have remotes now.

I also use a Super Winch.
My car weights 3500 lbs, approx . After I bought it I bought a Super Winch remote. The remote cost as much(all most) as the winch did; they DID say it floats, imagine that!!! The only issue if have had with winches is getting them to spool properly. If there is a secret, I haven't found it! Terry K |
