MuddyMachine:
I will post a pick of mine at the weekend. its a bit more heavey duty :)
Ive seen them recover up to 8 ton. not saying you should try it, but it has been done

Bush Tucker Man:
Aren't 'Civvie' & Military specification Tirfors rated differantly??

Civvie quote a pulled load
Military as lifted load

Obviously both have a decent safety factor as well.

Only seen the civvy ones but they usually quote a WLL for lifting and this is linked to the model, eg T516 lifts 1,600kg.

If you find it hard work, then try the 2 man technique, half the effort or double the line speed, whichever suits  :)

or you could try the hydraulic version!

Is it worth using over an electric one as it would only be use occasionaly for self recovery?

Nah, they're lousy.  Tell you what, I'll take it off your hands as a favour.   8)
