1 Winch, 2 pulley and cable that is pulled by another tractor, 3 comealong. I also have a tow bar but have found that loading with it is pretty dangerous with the set up we have. Always load on a level surface, if not level make sure your rear trailer axle is chocked. A local man lost his life unloading a tractor on a hill. He chocked the rear truck tires and as he was backing down the trailer the weight of the tractor lifted the rear end of the truck enough to start sliding. He probally panacked and just stayed on the tractor with the breaks on. The truck picked up speed and then jack knifed throwing the tractor and driver of the trailer. The tractor laded on the driver. Always check the breaks on the tractor that you are hauling. I came pretty darn close to getting hurt once because I forgot to check them.
