I have a great winch solution for you. Unfortunately, the Bulldog Utility Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead # BD54FR is only rated to pull up to 2,500 pounds. With that being said, I recommend the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Winch - Synthetic Rope - Hawse Fairlead # SW1140232. Not only does the Winch 2 Go provide you with 4,000 pounds of line pull strength, it also comes with straps, blocks, shackles to make your pulling headache-free. I went ahead and attached an image of a neighbor using the # SW1140232 to pull his project car on a trailer.
