I vote for the $39-49 HF winch also. I've used one for several years and it works fine (with a well-charged battery). I've pulled a 2600 lb (empty) Nissan into my trailer with no problems. The only drawback is that it's a little slower than a fancy winch - maybe 2-3 minutes to pull in 20 feet, depending on the grade and battery charge.
