You can even buy a smaller winch and use a snatch block to double the pull. This is a pulley you put on the object being pulled--you run the winch cable through the pulley, then anchor the hook end back on the trailer. Now there's effectively 2 lines pulling on the object, so you get twice the line pull. So if your winch can only pull 1500 pounds direct pull, it now can pull 3000--albeit at half the speed...
And yes the winch can be quite handy. I too have recovered cars, loaded my box blade on the trailer with it....
