I've pulled an International 240 up on my trailer using a 2000lb winch, single line. It was all the winch wanted to do and it almost stalled so I would not recommend that. If I had used a snatch block and doubled the line, it would have been fine.
One thing about winch ratings, that "12,000lb pull" is only for the first wrap of cable on the spool. As the cable wraps up on the spool, it gets larger in diameter, reducing the mechanical advantage. So a 12,000lb winch with 4 wraps of cable only has like 6000lbs of pull.
Still overkill for a 5000lb tractor on inflated tires.
If you just want something cheap to get the job done the 2000lb winch with a snatch block will do the job and you'll be into it for about $100 all in. $
I personally have an 8000lb winch on my trailer which I got on clearance from Tractor Supply, otherwise I probably would have invested in the 12,000lb winch.
One word on those larger winches is, they are HEAVY. I have mine mounted on a receiver so that it can be moved from the trailer to a truck if I ever needed to winch myself out. It feels like it weighs as much as a 100lb suitcase weight.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
