TLK, sounds like you need a bigger winch 8000 lb winch - when there are no trees anywhere around it does not help much - also tried anchor - as STX said in our mud one will not hold. I have winched to fence post, base of mesquites, etc. when they are nearby. Well nevermind then. I've just noticed a lot of guys buy a winch rated for the weight of their vehicle...ie. 3000 lb. winch for a 3000 lb. I've always been told to go at least twice the size, but sounds like you got that covered. My dad's buddy used to carry a big piece of rebar and a sledge to pull his Nissan out. But I wouldn't be surprised if that Nissan was lighter than the RTVs especially if its a diesel  we have one and its a heavy pig.

You can't fix stupid
