Starting to look for a winch I will probably get a jimnybits hidden winch plate but what is a good winch for me? The odd green lane and the odd pay&play on a £250 budget

You won't find anything useful new for that kind of money.

But perhaps a used 6000-9500 lbs winch if you're lucky.

Also interested to know as I'm thinking of a similar set up with the hidden winchplate

Do I need a 9500 lb winch to pull a Jim out the mud?

A 6000 lbs winch will get you out of most situations. But always bring a snatch block, just in case :-)
