We use a $49.99 Harbor Freight special. It is only rated for about 1500 lbs, but that has worked for everything so far. It will drag a car up the ramps with a wheel locked up. If you're loading a Power Wagon, it better roll, because I doubt it would drag that.
They come with a bracket that slips over yoru trailer ball. We modified that bracket and bolted it to the front of the trailer. The winch is easily detachable. Just throw the winch and a battery in the back of the truck.
