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

The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming.
