Don't mix rolling resistance with the weight of the vehicle being pulled. The ARVL was meant to give units with M113s the ability to recover them. A carrier is only 21,000 pounds, give or take, and depending on conditions, the winch is only dealing with a fraction of that. So once you go to 2 to 1, or even 3 to 1 on the cable setup, you have plenty of pull.



The majority of the NSNs in the manual for the ARV are US based, so the design may well be adapted from some American variant like the M809.



Is there any specific information you need on them?
