Right, or modify a "normal" electric winch motor to drive the input shaft. You would be able to use the control mechanism that way, though I think the gear ratio of the electric units is bigger than our worm drive units.
I know Paul and a few others have gone hydraulic drive, mostly from the power steering pump, but you could run a more powerful PTO system too and get the same control as the electric and an even more authentic feel.
