Front locker available for Kubotas

[Sawyer Rob]

Wow, that was certainly quite the project. I always wondered why compact and utility sized tractors did not have front lockers or limited slip.

Some do...

What does this do that the standard rear diff lock doesn't do?

This is for the front, which does have a limited slip, but it’s very easily overcome. And the reason it’s easily overcome is because of this cone/spring washer in the second picture. The ”springiness” in that little cone is the only force that applies those friction discs. What I installed is more like a mini Detroit Locker, which replaces the clutch pack and spider gears shown.


“The Torq Locker never technically disengages, but it does allow for wheel spin differentiation so you can turn and steer the vehicle. The Locker achieves wheel speed differentiation through ratcheting. A slight audible click maybe noticeable at low speeds, this is an indication of the locker ratcheting.”
