2310 Is this normal? and other Questions

[DEWFPO]

Locking the differential seems to help more than 4WD as far as driving power goes. Now, here is another "is this normal:" My differential lock pedal has never gone down once from a stand still like the manual says it should. I mean, yes it does go down about half-way, but you have to move the wheels a bit to get it to go down completely and lock. It also seems to help if I turn the steering wheel a bit to allow the rear wheels to spin at different speeds...makes sense since it IS afterall a differential that I'm trying to lock. It just bothers me that the manual says that depressing the pedal while the tractor is moving can cause damage. Hopefully this just means that they don't want you to be moving along at speed and all of the sudden push down the pedal.Russ

This is normal. I can't get the diff lock to go all the way down unless I can spin the wheels a little and get them to travel at different speeds. Then the pedal will go all the way down and lock the rear diff. It's almost impossible to lock it with the wheels stationary.

Thanks for the offer Ray! I may just take a run down that way to check the place out.

I have to warn you that it doesn't look like much but the service is top notch. I am sure that Ray would tell you the same thing.
