Bought one with the same rating from Harbor Freight.  On special for $39.  2000 lb. rating and 6000 lb. rolling load.  It will load a cub on a low trailer or will load small implements.  No way will it pull out a 560.

  A flyer came in the mail today announcing a "one day only sale" at the 
  local fire company. It is being put on by "Cummins Industrial Tools" 
  <www.cumminstools.com>. Looking over the 4 page full color flyer, it 
  would seem that they get their stuff from the same sources as Harbor 
  Freight and similar importers. I was going to pass, figuring I have all 
  the cheap Chinese tools I need at the moment, but one thing caught my 
  eye: they show a "12 volt winch, 2000 lb. Capacity" for $80 ("regular 
  price $99"). <http://www.cumminstools.com/browse.cfm/4,103.html>

  Now it seems that I managed to get my Farmall 560D stuck in the edge of 
  my marsh, and none of my other tractors can get enough of grip a in the 
  soft wet ground to pull it out. I was wondering if I could attach this 
  winch to a tractor on high ground or a nearby very large ash tree nearby 
  and just wind it out. It isn't all that stuck - it is just that the 
  black much we have for ground around here is like grease when it is wet. 
  I figure that the same winch could be used to help pull non-running 
  tractors up on to my trailer and other similar chores. But I don't feel 
  like spending $80 on something that won't do the job. Has anyone had any 
  experience with either the Cummins Industrial Tool Co. or a similar 
  winch? (the sale is 6/15, so I have a little time to decide.) Is it 
  possible to bargain with these folks when you are there in person? 
  (Cecil could probably have them down to $10 in no time, but I am not 
  that good.)
