Bristol Bob; what an interesting idea and machine.

Looks like the front winch has "spuds" that are lowered into the ground, to prevent the truck from shifting while winching away.

And, do you know - around here, there are Skidder attachments for farm-tractors - used for logging operations in the woods - that use the same idea, except mounted on the rear, for the Power Take-Off.
