I have a Harbor Freight winch.  8000 lbs and costs under $300 on sale.  It looks just like a Mile Marker 8000.  I have only had to use it once to pull the tracker out of a high side(all four wheels off the ground), but I used it about twenty times to pull down oak trees after the hurricanes. One tree was a little too big and picked the tracker front wheels off of the ground.  I also put a harbor freight 2000lb winch on the rear(it was only $49).  I figure I can pull about a hundred pounds max with my body, so 2000lbs is a lot better.  Also good for pulling something on a trailer.  I fabbed up my own bumpers and winch mounts and everything is welded.  The winches themselves are through bolted and then tack welded to discourage theft.
