The Hand winch you selected, Dutton-Lainson Brake Winch # DL15721, would be a great choice as long as your 2,500 lb tractor will always be a rolling load, and the angle of the ramps on the trailer will not be too steep.

If you need to move the tractor when not rolling, flat tire or some other mishap, I recommend using a winch with at least 5,000 lb capacity. A winch like this is only available in an electric... view full answer...

I would not have any options for using the Gen-Y Pintle Hook Mounting Plate with a weight... view full answer...

Since your Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510 is blinking orange there is one of two things going on.
The first is that the ground wire is not making a good connection causing the issue. You can check this by making sure your ground wire is securely connected to clean corrosion free metal.
The second is that the blue brake output wire has a short in it. Since you mentioned a fuse blew one time this would be my guess. You will need to check the blue brake output wire running... view full answer...

You will want to verify that the pin out of your connector matches what is in the picture I attached.
If yours is different you can use a paper clip to release the wires from the connector so that you can move them where they belong. view full answer...
