Hello, I was wondering maybe someone could give advice, I want to load massive rock on my trailer, would two tons winch be able to drag and load big rock on this type of trailer. The trailer would be hooked on small front wheels drive car, would be enough grip? Trailer is without brakes, no trees or anything around. Maybe someone tried something similar, I'll add a pick of trailer, it can handle some weight, but the issue is bringing it up on it.

A pic of the rock would help.

A cubic foot of granite weighs 400 pounds. A large rock could easily exceed a ton. I doubt your trailer or tow vehicle is up to the task.

If you can remove the friction under the rock, you might have a chance. The friction will be the biggest killer.
Most winches are rated for a rolling load. But yeah, trailer and car are questionable too.
