It would be possible but it is also possible that the power steering pump wouldn't have the capacity to run it.
Our previous 4wd was an ex USAF ex Desert Storm Humvee which I converted to RHD, fitted out with all the necessary equipment and we travelled extensively for over ten years in it.
The Humvee and H1 had the same braking sytem with a hydroboost, the only difference was it had a Saginaw pump which had a higher flow than the one in an Oka.
One of the other Aussie owners tried a hydraulic winch tapped into the power steering system and it resulted in no brake or steering assistance when the winch was operating as the pump couldn't supply enough so I suspect that the same would occur on an Oka. Fitting a higher capacity pump took a bit of doing and depending on how much winching etc you may possibly need a cooler in the system as well.

It is a complete package (including 40 litres of hydraulic oil).
It is possible that they may fit it to their other truck, but last I heard it was available at a very competitive price.
.....but it is in Germany......
Cheers, Peter.

I get that you may need to find a fairly hefty tree etc.

Of coarse, suit the winch to your application but yes OBJ a snatch block doubles this to 13.2T (i carry a snatch block but haven't needed it yet) but of coarse a tree would need to be the same size whether you had a hydraulic or 12V winch. Snatch blocks also obviously halve the line distance. In Vic we have trees to winch from, that's obviously not the case in some places. 12V have their limitations but for most (all those not towing a 2T trailer while traveling/4wding) i believed a M15000 Warn winch to be adequate (especially when you can pick one up for not much! ).

Warn 16.5Ti with an "extension cord".
Can be attached to pull from anywhere on the vehicle.
Has a mounting frame attached that allows it to travel up front in a Hayman Reece style hitch.
Works well because the winch always 'points' in the direction of the pull.
I also carry a 50m extension and 2 snatch blocks.
When there are no trees, digging a hole for a spare is an option (if the tide is not coming in...).
I did not actually get to use this one because a big tractor showed up first.
Cheers, Peter.

More digging.
I drove 3 star pickets to ground level to get a 'cruiser out of a bog in a paddock 25yrs ago. They are still there and are now a tyre staking hazard
