Think these are front only due to bolting the drive onto the rear of the box.

Will be fitting the winch to the front think they sell a power take off unit that can drive to the front and the back
Yeah I though that the cover was machinable to give fr/rr drive, gotta love maxidrive gear, they do build quality stuff
What sort of money do these things cost? (I googled but couldn't find a price

Thank god!!!
I just looked on eBay.co.uk to see what PTO prices were second hand and had a cow!!!
But I see that currency is in my favour at half the price for the second hand parts and shipping won't be silly.

Shipping from aus are cheaper if you don't need the parts fast.

i looked at getting one from europe think they were a bit pricey and postage would be a killer cost me $80 to get it from Australia to New Zealand is also a company in malaysia that make them. From what i understand the maxi-drive pto unit sits a bit higher than other pto drives so should be less likely to snag on a rock or some thing .

For the life of me I can't see why they're so expensive, there really isn't much to them!
Second hand ones seem to be lb for lb like gold dust

here's a link to the ones in Malaysia they are about $400 nzd more than the maxi-drive units. The way that i justify putting a pto winch on is that in 15 years with a little maintenance it will still be going hard.For the life of me I can't see why they're so expensive, there really isn't much to them!
