I'd agree with the comments about the Tirfors, BUT they can pull in any direction which can be handy if you need a sideways pull or there are no trees in front and the only way out is back.
If I had the money I'd go for a PTO winch, then an electric winch.
Again if you have the money have the winch bolted onto a tow bar receiver hitch and have a front and rear mount setup.
Steel waffle boards maybe your only option in really low temps as the plastic or fibreglass ones can become brittle. Same issue with exhaust jacks.
Mechanical equipment is safer - eg high lift jack over a bottle jack if the seals freeze and leak.
You've got engine block/gearbox/diff/fuel tank heaters fitted? My father used little kerosene Davey Lamp type things to keep the engine warm enough to turn over, not sure about the temps that would work.
