And cook you battery if used for long pull. 

I had an electric winch on a couple of 4wd, on long repeated pulls (pulling branches out of a lake) it sometimes overheated and stopped, always started again after a cool down, never cooked a battery, of course I ran the engine on TO all the time.

 

The hydraulic on the Land Rover was good but very slow, repeated pulls you die of boredom.

 

If you want speed you need pto powered.

1st things first is the pump a vane/gear pump or a piston pump ? 2 different pumps with 2 different working pressures, check working pressure on chipper and then check pressure on your selected winch, being a tracked chipper it is most likley to be the higher pressure piston pump but it may all so have a gear pump on the end of the piston pump allowing 2 different working pressures on same machine ,
