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.
