I'm slowly adding bits to my 05 TD5 110 (with aircon) and now thinking about a winch.
I've seen the debates about electric v hydraulic and although electric seems to be the simpler option from a buying and fitting perspective it seems to me that hydraulic may offer other benefits. However, I don't know much about hydraulic systems.
Could I fit a pump on the PTO with a shielded tank somewhere in one of the wheel arches and then use quick release connectors near the front bumper to connect a winch? Then, could I realistically expect this pump to power something like a portable log splitter?
Presumably if the log splitter needed a large oil capacity I could build that with a second tank to increase overall volume.
What would be the minimum practical capacity for the in-car fluid tank?
Would the QR connectors be reliable/safe?
I've seen a couple of sites describing PTO setups but does anyone know of any more? Hydraulic Winch on Land Rover Power Take Off (PTO)

I'd like to avoid putting the tank in the battery box as I may want to add a second battery down the line.
Cheers,
Steve
