- Sold my Kubota B6100 when I moved to WA
Yesterday I was helping my neighbor level an area for an above-ground pool. I was pulling my box blade with my B6100 (gear drive) in 4wd around the six foot circle for his pool.
I lost traction so I engaged the diff lock - while truning at minimum radius. I think I might have gone about 10 feet with the diff lock on before I pulled my head out of my anatomy and said oops - turning with the diff lock on is a no-no. Nothing broke that I could tell.
What should I be watching out for? Exactly where would the damage occur if something was damaged? Should I drain and re-fill the transmission?
