Its called a capstan winch. You wrap the rope around twice and pull rather than store the rope on the winch. They were made by Farey company who also make overdrives for landrovers. Yes, via PTO. 💗

I believe they are powered by the engine from a PTO.

I see, thanks! So no electrical winch like the modern ones like "Warn". So if the engine does not work means no winching possible, right?

That is correct.
