the following came up:
I have that paddocks pm732 one in the shed, used in anger and it's failed every time, just pulls out of ground even on a rolling load. No where near the size of what it needs to be, it's nothing compared the proper MOD style it copies. And you will need hi lift jack to remove the pegs, and a hefty sledge hammer to put them in.

which put me off my intended choice of anchor

A lot depends on where you have the space to carry it. X-eng or D4x4 both make good ones. But if space is tight then get the PRT. I have used a lot of them and I carry a PRT and it works well even when my Landcruiser is stuck.
