How to Free Spool a CAT Roller ( Caterpillar CB224D ): How to Winch Inoperable Roller onto Trailer?

[Alex1els]

Hello community,

I just purchased an inoperable roller from an auction. It's an older Cat CB 224 d. Looking for a new challenge, I guess

I'm anticipating that I'll need to winch the roller only my tilt trailer at the auction side.

Is there an easy way to release any brakes and any hydrostat locks, so that the roller can actually roll freely? That way I'd be able to winch it onto the trailer easier, rather than having to drag it onto the trailer.

Any advice would be appreciated!
