Evening All just a question --- I have a Timberjack 208 that worked well thru the winter ( central Canada ) so we have our share of cold days here. Have been running light hydraulic oil in it -- went to use it today and its pull a load in fine but wont hold it up.. Start to drive away and its reels out slowly - any chance the oil is to light ? ( + 15 celsius) here today
It might help if you can tell us the make and model of the winch you have. There is likely someone here who has had the same model with a similar problem.
Did you take covers off and make sure it's dry?
The holding band is held on by spring pressure hydraulic pressures releases it and activates the clutches that power the winch drum
Oil viscosity has nothing to do with your problem
I suspect the spring is broken
Cheers
