Not screwed at all.
I'd use a Bowline to secure the end of the rope to the trailer, and a Trucker's Hitch at the other end.
The Bowline is easy to untie and the Trucker's Hitch gives a 2:1 mechanical advantage.

Edit: Another way to secure the end of the rope to the trailer is a Timber Hitch (best for a round pipe) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_hitch. Super secure and can be untied very easily.
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch!
The ending was worth it.
This deserves a post in YouTubeClassics
Timber and truckers is what I was originally taught. I remember it taking a while to get the truckers hitch down then out of no where it was like 'snap', had it ever since lol
That knot comes in handy so often.
Years ago, my clothesline came apart (it had pinch clamps that failed to grab the line tight enough) and I used a Trucker's Hitch along with Prusik knots to pull the clothesline close enough together to reattach it.
I now only buy clotheslines that come with the mini winch.

This is the correct answer.
Glad to be of service.
