LX2620 diff lock

Is there a way to engage and keep the diff lock locked without holding the lever down with my heel? Im burning up my knee when I run it long. Just curious.

On my B3030 it will stay engaged as long as I keep moving forward in a straight line. If I stop or turn it will disengage.

Unlikely. Forgetting or failing to disengage it on hard surfaces would result in significant machine damage.

Just curious as to why you need it engaged for extended duration. I never need to use dif lock on my 4wd machine and very very seldom use it on my 2 wd machines.

Tillage and grading. With the 4 wheels clawing through the traction is uneven at times. The diff lock balances this out.

It also helps significantly with an angled blade grading where the machine is getting shoved sideways.

I get your point about when you use the rear wheel lock and why. Another way to look at the function is that it guarantees 3 of the 4 wheels are pulling while a normal 4WD without the rear wheels locked (differential defeated) only guarantees 2 of the 4 wheels are pulling. I do wonder though -- unless you are experiencing wheel spin while operating (are you?) then I don't see how the wheel lock does anything for you.

Not without fabricatiing some sort of locking device.

I certainly would not recommend doing that.
