Realistically im looking to spend about £700 on a winch and bumper. I dont want to spend much more than that as the winch will be worth more than the Disco lol
As said i'd favour electric over PTO/hydraulic driven winches as when the Landy will eventually rot away it'll be easier to remove and bolt to something else, as it stands at the moment I could have it back to standard in a few hours.
I dont need anything hardcore as like I said its only a toy, nor do I want to spend thousdands.
General feeling is already saying to stay away from T-Max, will most likely keep an eye on eBay for a secondhand quality winch rather than a cheapo new chinese one.

As I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about I thought I'd add my opinion.
I currently don't plan on going where I'm going to get stuck. Yeh right! I'm going to get stuck.
I think a hand winch would be just the job for very occasional use.
My RAC recover man (see another post) had a ten quid hand wrench (type of thing for pulling boats on to trailers) a stake and a hammer and reconned that was a good bit of basic (yes BASIC) recovery kit.
Gets my vote.

Them boat type ones are also fantastic for breaking wrists when used incorrectly like mounting them to a stake and then trying to pull 4x4's out of mud.:doh: I've taken 2 AA/RAC patrols to casualty after they each snapped BOTH their wrists while simply loading or unloading car trailers using one of those strap type hand winches.
