Bamford&Smith still make winches as far as i know. The ARMY used PTO winches made by them on their Landrovers. I havent heard any bad reports about them.

I have heard that the heat treatment on their electric winch gears is not the best. Their army pto winches are highly geared and not self locking like a worm drive winch.
