I don't see anyone explaining the basic concept of chaining to the wheels...
In one method, you are essentially driving ON the chain, and it's wrapping around the tire. With the chain hooked to an immovable object, such as a large tree, either the tractor moves or the chain breaks.
The tractor's tire works as a winch drum... VERY risky especially if not done properly.
The cheap HF winch idea will work fine... You can't hurt yourself because the cheap winch motor will stall out long before it exceeds the tensile strength of the cable.
It won't pull the tractor out straight-on, but if you "double the lines" a couple of times, forming a block-and-tackle, you will get plenty of pull and the winch will NEVER see more than its rated capacity. Your only limitation will the the length of cable. It's only 20'. After you double up the lines twice, you will only have 4'6" of pull.
