PTO Hydraulic Pump for 78 Series?

I plan to put a rear winch in my Troopy eventually.

Am considering using a hydraulic winch.

Would prefer a PTO hydraulic pump, rather than tapping into the power steering pump, as I assume that a PTO pump would be more powerful and possibly more reliable.

Any idea what I need to get a PTO hydraulic pump working on a 78 series Troopy?

I came across this on the web, am wondering if 1500 Euro seems like a fair price, and if there are cheaper or other alternatives...

Thanks.
