I have a Fransgard V4000 right now and I like it.
It is well built and safe and simple to use. The
good thing about a proper factory model is it has
safe controls, safety guards and the anchoring
plow/skid plate. It holds the tractor when pulls
are heavy. An ordinary winch does not have these
futures so you would have to build them as well.
Size depends on the tractor and size of load. My
winch has a 8000-9000 lb pull which meets my need.
Cost for a new one of this size and brand would be
in the $3500 to 4500 range. If you can find a used
one, as I did, you are looking at $1500-2500. Also
there are more manufacturers building cheaper ones
from India, China, etc. Farmi is probably the best
known brand and is an excellent winch as well.
