Like you I really don't think my diff lock ever stopped working, even at 10,000 hours. I can understand it being quite effective in ice and snow, it really doesn't take whole lot when neither tire is getting great traction. You put on a set of duals, and enough disk or cultivator to load the tractor, and you wouldn't know you have it. I never used my 1066 in winter and it always had the duals on. I remember 3 or 4 times in mud and a stuck condition, that diff wouldn't hold to keep you moving and out of the mess and once there certainly wouldn't hold. By contrast I had a Deere forestry skidder with 18.4 single tires all around and diff locks on both ends. This machine was 6 cylinder turbo charged with 8 speed power shift around 100 hp. That one worked quite well, but remember it was two diff locks with 4 tires. That one could push snow, with an 11' blade, 3.5' high. I have seen snow coming over the top of that blade many times. I levelled and packed silage with this machine.
