Ya might want to go and ask this on the Forestry and Logging wich would be a clic here (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?board=4.0) from being there :)

I'm guessing that this winch is modern enough to have a hydraulic cylinder to engage and release the cable. If so you need to adjust the nut on the lever that tightens on the brake band. Not to tight or you will have a terrible time trying to pullout your cable
