Just to make certain you dont go out and buy just ANY old motor, the statement:
"ANY motor can run it if geared right, but not at the speed you want. That's the key"
I'm sure youre aware not just ANY motor will work, it still has to have enough HP to overcome the friction heat energy losses of those winch gears PLUS enough additional HP to pull whatever load you place on the winch. Obviously a small dinky 1/20 HP hobby motor (thats ANY motor) may not even be able to turn the winch even if no load at all were placed on it.
While gearing down decreases output RPM and increases torque (HP is a function of Torque X RPM) ALL THE GEARS LOOSE ENERGY IN THE FORM OF HEAT and the more gears the more friction losses. When you put energy INTO a reduction gearbox you get less energy out because its NOT 100% efficent with frictionless gears.
Similar to what I posted below, if your drill produces say 1 HP, it cant provide the winch pull a higher HP motor like our friend JD was kind enough to show you
I reallyyyyyyyyy like the DC gearmotor (JD posted) or a DC starting type motor (like on my Winch) approcach, its feasible, affordable, has more HP then your drill, is already 12 VDC, AND NO NEED FOR INVERTERS OR A GENSET
I say go for a DC motor (Versus inverters or gensets) if the drill dont suit your needs which I doubt
Thanks LJD and 2710 FUN CHAT I hope it works out for you
God Bless and Merry CHRISTmas to both of you and all here

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
