im really not trying to stir the pot, but the only foolproof differential is anything based on the detroit locker or a spool. other than that, only the red white & blue polaris offer true 4x4.( they use basicly a spool in the front.) anything else just wont work over time.

So dravy, explain what your problem is!! I like the dif on the Rancher. Sure it isn't locked, but it isn't open either. They picked a happy medium where it works well enough, but the steering doesn't fight you to much. I have had a wheel in the air lots of times, and watched it just loaf. Works fine in my opinion!! If you are a mudder and need lockers, well then put them on.

My kodiak 450 locks up just fine when in diff lock mode, as for polaris it slips a little in the rear before it engages, alittle awkward on steep hillclimbs and slippery rocks.

Diffs Use Tourqe Bias 30 % 50, 100 %
Polaris & Bombardier Are The Only Ones That Are 100%
Meaning Both Front Wheels Get 100% Power From The Engine To Wheels.

Griz & 650 Use About 80% .....

If it's a locker(450/660,kaw360/650,suz/king quad)it's a locker if it's not it's not,no maybe's,limited slip,visco-lock are not true lockers 1 tire slips 1-2 turns before locking the other in.
