I like the location of the lock on the 23left foot toe it seems easier when backing up snowblowing and I need traction neighbord has heel lock I'm not sure it would be as comfortable when turned around on the seat

"On my BX 25 the DL is located on the left against the rear wall. Very small and you have to engage with the heel. You have to hold it down until no longer needed. Very awkward when engaged in the other recovery actions. If you did this routinely it would become second nature like other functions but it is a recovery mode only when all wheels are stalled or spinning. But as others have said, when you need it it is there. I like the idea of engaging it and then it auto disengages when hitting the brake. I have heard that the later models of the 25D have the brake on the left side, that might make it easier to get used to. I kinda like the brake on the right side, very handy with the F & R pedals there also."

Yes same position on the 25D and brake is on the left side as well. Using my DL is second nature now. The DL will also disengage when not needed so if you are in certain situations it makes sense to 'ride' the DL until you are sure you are out of harms way. Personally I like the brake on the left side. It seems like I don't have to use it much with HST anyway.

I found the pedal to be a pain to engage when you have a big foot like me and you are wearing a big winter boot.

I wear a size 12 boot and I don't have any issues engaging the small diff lock pedal. I have used it about 6 times this winter because I need to traverse a muddy section near my wood shed.
