I agree with Soundguy. That's a big battery on the 4500, and it will handle the winch.

I run 8000lb winches (some China, one Ramsey) on my JD 4300. Have an Optima yellow top hooked up as main winch power source. This is kept charged off the main battery circuit. I have killed the battery once, broken a cable once, in the past 8 yrs....
Everything rides on the 3pth with the winch plugging into a 2" receiver.
I drag the logs out to where I can hook a chain from the winch bracket to the log, lift and skid.
(got three 8000lbers that get moved between tractor, float and pickup truck.)

Excuse me if I missed this being said before.
I only skimmed thru this thread, and thought I'd add this.
sorry if it has been mentioned.
A common item for dual batteries is a device called a battery isolater.
It allows both batteries to be charged from one source gen/alt, but will not allow the 2nd battery to discharge the starting battery, these are common in RV's, and not very expensive to buy.
