Here's a (lower current) 12V winch designed for ATVs at TractorSupply for $110: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/polestar-2-500-lb-12-volt-dc-electric-atv-winch-with-steel-wire-rope-10811053
50' steel cable, rated for 2500lbs.
This is (almost) the least expensive winch I can find, and the rated capacity is overkill for this use case.
Including the cost of misc parts for the fulcrum, plus cost of wire between two trees to provide a pull point along a Y axis where the tractor so the tractor can be manually repositioned along the second axis, call it $200 total.
Exciting!
