I remember about 30 odd years ago seeing something very similar for Landrovers. I thought about getting one as I was always getting bogged in on Lulworth Ranges when I did the deer management.

£2220!  but thas the daddy that'll tug 1800kg in first gear.  I'd prefer 2T power as i know some people that have Honda powered 4T versions that can prove problematic if they tilt over sideways and potentially starve the head of oil.  The Eder looks easy to use as you control  the throttle setting with the rope.  A useful bit of kit that would be an alternative to a winch on a steel bumper or a Tirfor  winch.  Plus ya cud carry it into the woods in kit form.
