But then you're still talking another NZ$1500 by the time you get the PTO landed in AU and fitted up.
Can buy them here off grey imports for $1400 complete.
I got mine from a bloke off ebay (from Townsville) for approx $1250 delivered to vic. Just need to get the drum widened and some form of free spool fitted. Seen a setup being tested at OnTrack where there using a Nissan hub as the free spool. It is on Himount and its still in the R&D stage but dont think it will be far away.

I think it is Kim Bolton who runs that set up already turps, it's not a new idea, would be interesting to see how it works first hand though.

I have seen Kyms. But at that stage I wasnt paying enough attention to detail.
Hopefully he's competing at the OBC and I may get some pics of it there. Mine will still be front mounted though. But after having 45m of cable on my old PTO. I dont really want to drop back to 30m. So will try and go thru the drum widening thing. And the remote disconnect for me is a cos I can thing not cos I need it.
