I know my HF hoist will hold a position but the winch on the tractor will unwind if I put enough force on it. Yes, it takes a lot of force but it is certainly not as solid as what appears to be a positive ratchet feel on the hoist.
Just a thought ...

It is designed for overhead lifting, so freewheeling is not one of its features.
