I haven't used my diff lock before an today I was trying to pull some trees I cut down an I had problems getting into diff lock. I had to go forward an back an it finely went in and the same going out of diff lock. The rhino I owned was not as hard to get in an out as the viking is. Is this a common thing out there on a viking or do I have something wrong with it.

My experience between my Rhino and Viking would be similar. It always goes in but sometimes it takes longer compared to my Rhino. I am hoping with more break in time and warmer temperatures it will improve. When I get enough hours on it I will change the diff oils to synthetic that should also help. I don't believe there is problem just a delay in meshing the gear.

I am seeing the same delay, not really concerned at this time. Temp has been 15 degrees or colder when I've been out . 1st service soon 90 miles. Dealer can check it out

Ours does the same and so did the kodiak. Sometimes have to be patient and let it engage and sometimes it happens right away. No biggy.

Try turning the front wheels left and right. Mine seems to engage much quicker doing that. Even when temps are at 0 or less.

Yes we found turning the wheel works too.

i actually find keepin the wheel straight usually works. or rocking it forward and back a bit

when my wheel is turned it wont go out of lock.

I noticed a delay and seems if i put 1 foot on the brake to hold it and give it a shot of gas pedal it syncs and goes in. I only have 28miles on it hopefully it goes in easier with miles.

In goes in every time, getting it out isn't automatic. I put it in reverse back up a foot and it goes right out. Twenty hours. I am taking it in for first service next week.... I will try to remember to ask.

Turning the steering wheel with your foot OFF the brake works really well for me when I'm sitting still, driving i just swerve a little...when your on a slow ride just work the diff lock often and it gets much better. Mine was a huge pain when I first got it and now it goes in right away most of the time. I used it about 100 times on one trail in Moab and that fixed her right up.

I went out a put mine in diff lock since this is only the 2nd time I have. I turned the wheels and it went right in and out.
