I got my John Deere 2555 stuck in the slick stuff next to a pond and the R-1 tires dug for China before I could stomp on the clutch. A 4x4 F250 wouldn't budge it, and then added a Nissan pickup, still no go. Finally locked my F350 down and used it and the F250 as an anchor and used the winch on the Nissan to pull it out.
Last month I went and picked up two dead tractors,one dragging a bush hog and the other dragging a tiller, and pulled them up onto my Big Tex trailer with a 3500 winch, but I triple blocked it. I learned a lesson about those hooks with the roller that HF sells. Not worth the cheap money they cost! The cast aluminum roller shatters under load. I ended up going to Tractor Supply and bought ones that were rated for what I was doing. The winch came from Amazon, and worked great. I didn't cut it any slack, and had it powered by 4 tractor trailer batteries tied together, and a set of jumper cables running to those off the two batteries in my F350.
