Hi, I'm looking to buy a winch for my trailer, my car weighs 3000 pounds. What would be a good size winch to pull the car up onto the trailer? Im using a 2500 now and it struggles. There's a sale on 5000 pound winches and the next size up is 9000. What are you guys using? Thanks!!

Thanks guys! I didnt think of the snatch block deal, I dont think I have enough cable to do that though. I have a 2500 atv winch to try, the other 2-2500 one I have is an old HF deal that looks like a small square box with a handle, thats the one giving me grief, wont pull anything up my ramps without a little push and thats getting old lol.
