I have one, they use rated chain and clevis claws to walk down the chain. They are great for short pulls but I would go for a "Turfer" for long pulls.
(Or a vehicle mounted one when I can afford it)

My 10c for what it's worth

The winch kit can be used for a continous pull (not limited to 5 meters) by swapping ends as you get to the end of the chain (requires suitable winch extensions). Winch forever with your Hi-Lift (or until you've earned a beer or 5)

I agree.
I have a 2nd chain that is 10 meters long and have pulled the truck most of that length
Is is slow but better than being stuck.
