Tirfor will pretty much drag you out of anything slow but if you have drowned your engine electric winch wouldnt last long before your battery died.

Yes i was thinking about the hand operated version there is a hydraulic version available but i think that requires a mains supply ie 415v 3 phase to run the hydraulic pump guessing that would cost a fortune as well.
A good old hand version is very adaptable and are well tried and tested just needs man power to make it work lol
