I use the diffy lock when dealing with mud or snow. It, most usually, is the last word in traction before I totally loose forward momentum. I'm in 4WD and need that extra bit of traction to complete the job.
Was it so wet that you couldn't just drive through it without the difflock?I had some wet spots in my field that would never dry up, so when brush hogging, I would step on the differential lock as I was coming up to it so that the rears were locked by the time I got into it.

Only reason I ask is it take a alot to get even a 2wd tractor stuck and to be like that and bushhogging that are you would be almost borderline swamp.Probably could have, but was just playing it safe.

Maybe it's the front loader taking weight off the back tires but I've had several instances with the YM240 where I had to use the loader curl to inch the tractor out of 'temporarily inconvenienced', ie can't back out of a wet downslope, or climb out of a stump-hole that I had intended to compress. (Post with photo). Never had to abandon either tractor to wait for dryer weather, but almost.... it takes a lot to get even a 2wd tractor stuck ...
