Just an FYI and not trying to be the safety police but be careful using a winch to lift something. They are usually rated as to what they can pull not as to what they can lift, that's not really a safety concern as if it won't lift it it can't fall on you but the major concern is that it will lift/pull in a controled manor but release/lower free wheel. Not all are the same but if you are using a ratchet strap to lift I think you know what I am referring to.

I know what you mean. Hah. The ATV winch is rated to "pull" 2500 lbs. if mounted overhead, the bag will be just enough weight to add tension when "lowering". Although it's not technically lowering.
