Im like old though,im not sure a drill will do it,at least not with a load.just looking at the picture it appears to me you have a mechanical advantage there of @4-1.Like old i dont think your drill would have the starting torque even if it could operate it unloaded.maybe if you ran it through a 20-1 gearbox or something first but then it would be way slow. my opinion of course.what i did when i used a 12motor was to put a small sprocket on the motor with maybe ten teeth,then mounted a sprocket on the winch with about 40 teeth as i recall(been thirty years ago)then chain drove it that gave me a initial advantage of 4-1then with the winch gears increased to like 20-1. made a strong little winch but it was a power user for sure. and by the time i rigged all the stuff up i could have bought a stronger winch for less money. but it was a project!LOL
