I'm missing something: Front-end 4-wd

[ovrszd]

In my uses Lockers of some type are essential. I have limit slips, auto lockers, electric lockers, mechanical lockers and spools.

It's critical to not misuse any of them. Failure will eventually result.

In regards to the OP's concern. I frequently have a front tire off the ground with my FWA tractors with FWA engaged. The one with limit slip in the front will continue to turn the lifted front tire with movement even though it's in 2wd. The two with open diffs will most times carry that lifted tire forward with no rotation while in 2wd. I don't see what he described as a problem at all.

If one wheel is spinning and the other is not wouldn't you have to stop that action to engage the diff lock little Johnny???

So who pi$$ed in your cornflakes today?

We use the diff lock regularly on our hillside farm. Might stop, might not. Takes rotation to engage after you press the pedal. Certain routine places Mowing, grading driveway, moving tree debris up steep incline. Can engage while moving before a trouble spot and disengage after the area. HST control makes this a seamless transition. Biggest beef is with the Kubota pedal design. My footwear traction is often compromised.

Well stated. And describes my engagement/disengagement practices as well.

I like your pedal Mod. With bulky boots on it's hard to know when you've got it engaged until you apply power. My Kubota RTV is the worst. My old Ford is the best factory designed pedal.

Ford 4500 backhoe had a nice design pedal.

Pedal for B26. Split shaft collars made for a easy mod.
