If you have enough spool and length of cable, add a pulley-hook, attach that to the car, then attach/hook the end of the cable back near the winch. You double your "pulling power" with alot less effort on your arm/winch. It'll take twice the time, but if you don't want to worry about "face-slap," that's the way to go.

Now, if you don't have enough spool and the cable is only as long enough to reach the car once, then get a tow strap and use that as the attachment to the car and use the above mentioned pulley-hook to pull the strap(s) that are attached to the car to get your vehicle up on the trailer.

Again, practice safe winching...eye glasses, gloves, etc....
