    Best option.

    Hi,
    I went for a hydraulic. Runs off the steering pump. When turning the steering wheel, the winch pauses, but then goes again.
    No flat batteries, can winch for extended periods. Socket for controller has no power on it till engine is on, so vandal "shorting" is not a problem.

    Normal hi wind/lo winch speeds and freewheel controlled at winch body. Forward/reverse controlled on remote cable. I think the is a wireless remote available too. Also able to engage hi and lo together to give a "lock" feature.

    rovers4.

    Bamford 6000lb pto winch on my SIIa. I have pulled out an ex-army Ford D series, which was loaded with a Chevrolet Blitz, which was itself loaded with my SI, with no problems at all. I have winched my vehicle around 100m, then turned around and winched a friend over the same ground. So I feel 6000lb is big enough. For extended winching runs, pto is better if you can get it.
    I also have capstans, tirfors, and a hydraulic winch.
