Looking at the differences between the Polaris AWD system and Cat's 4WD system and was wondering if you must stop to engage (and disengage) the diff lock on the cat. If so it seems this would be kind of a pain. On the Polaris the diff lock is there at a moments notice at all times. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

 

Yes it is a very good idea to stop. It might be a pain but the locker is far superior to Polaris' system.

 

Polaris does not have a locking system I believe. On the cat you can enguage the 4 wheel drive where one wheel drives at a time in the front. Then you can lock it so both wheels drive.

I stop when I do either or but I heard of switching to 4WD on the fly but you always have to stop to lock the wheels, and never on hard surfaces.

 

The 4x4 is shift on the fly at any speed. For the diff lock, you have to stop first.

 

y wouldnt u want the diff lock on any way ???

 

Why WOULD you want it on all the time?

 

I see, you have the option of limited slip in the front which is shift on the fly or lock it up, that clears it up, thanks.

 

u would geuss u would want both tires driveing ur less likley to get stuck and ur putting more power to the ground.... i think.

 

If you have ever rode a quad with the diff lock engaged, you would know why it sucks to ride on regular terrain. Also, its hard on the machine on dry trail riding, and very hard to steer.

 

yea thats y us sport quad riders are allways wipin out the back end around turns and it looks cool.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]....... and i didnt thaink of that any way its positive traction but we keep my moms forman in dif lock
