So you should be stopped and hold the lock pedal down while starting to move or do you have to hold it down the entire time you are moving??

Ideally engage the dif lock before depressing the drive pedal. Hold the dif lock pedal down whilst you want it locked. Releasing the pedal will normally release the lock, but letting off the drive pedals or quick back and forth on the steering wheel /traction direction change will help to release the lock internally if you are in a stubborn situation.

I thought that once you held the lock pedal down and started moving it stayed engaged until you stopped

no, I'm pretty sure when you let off the pedal, it's disengaged

here's what the manual says for my XG3025:
Differential lock pedal
�� When the rear wheel is slipping and the tractor
can not move forward, stop the tractor
temporarily and press the differential lock pedal.
�� Differential lock is effective for working on
slippery ground.
�� If engaged, both rear wheels will rotate at equal
speed. So, It disturbs steering operation and you
cannot turn.
�� Take your foot off the pedal to release the
differential lock. If the traction is equalized, the
lock is released automatically.
�� If the differential lock does not disengaged (i.e.
the turning radius is larger than normal and the
turning is not smooth), depress the clutch pedal
and/or press left/right one-side brake pedal
slightly for a second each other

now in MY opinion, if the tires are slipping and you're not moving forward, you're pretty much already stopped, LOL but I understand that means push the clutch on the gear models and let off the pedal on the hydrostatic drive

It is one of those things that is meant to disengage, but could stay engaged in the right circumstances like being still under constant torque. Let off the pedals or joggle the differential by turning back and forth etc and it should come out. Think of it like if you ever had a truck with a front hub or transfer case that didn't pop out as soon as the switch was hit.

When I have used mine, it will stay engaged as long as there is torque applied ( moving forward). As soon as I stop, it releases. I have heard of people "stomping" on the lever while in motion or spinning a wheel and have damaged the diff.
