There's nothing secret about them.
They're mainly homebuilt around an old differential.

You just need to have a reduction case with PTO and a mechanical winch like the one from for example BRDM or STAR 266. And the rest You have to "do it yourself" :)
But the mechanical winch would put me into the extreme class and I want to be in the adventure class.

One of my buddies has a mechanical winch off a Robur army truck. It winches in a 1:1 of wheel rotation speed. So he can winch at over 70 km/h :)

And the winch has as much horsepower as the car's engine :)

Well.. That's pretty obvious.. ins't it :P ;)

I like the idea of a mechanical winch for long pulls.
But the technical winching on slopes and i forests I prefer the electrical winch. Often far quicker to use.
