RTV900 front diff lock

[Little Mule]

Anybody know of a way to install a diff lock(er) into the front end of a RTV900? Our unit (on tracks) stops going uphill when one of the front corners is off the ground. Extreme I know but there's nothing like pushing the boundaries!! As an aside would chnaging the oil to a thicker grade give a slower reaction? i.e. ****** the easy of track/wheel spin?

have you ever tried to puch down the brake just a little bit?i know on my hpx and 99%of the 4 wheelers with limited slip front difs it works good in locking up the front end when needed.all it does is it fools the spinning front tire into thinkin it's in a bind and it transfers the force to the other tire.

you can also install spacers into the wave lock washer springs (I am assuming thats what is used), or just stronger springs

i really woudn't go into the front dif to manually lock it the limited slip is a really good thing to have because if your spinnin them tires and they bind up it will send the force to the other tire instead of snappin an axle or u-joint. now you still have a chance of snappin something but it's alot less likely to happen with the front unlocked .i prefer to keep my rhino's front end unlocked i very seldome use the front locker and i go into some deep gooy mud.
