Expert Reply:
The Dutton-Lainson Worm Gear Hand Winch with Split Reel, # DL10952, is not designed to secure the tractor and is not rated for this type of application.
I would use ratchet straps like the Erickson Re-Tractable ratchet straps, # 34413, to secure the tractor in the trailer. I have included a link to a video review of these straps below. These straps will work well for securing loads but should not be used to hoist or pull the tractor into the trailer.
