it depends on the terrain. Most of the time I would stay in 2wd if it's just simple forest trails. (Only because the axles are geared at 4.88 and locked). When I had open diffs, I used 4hi. When stuff got serious, I just put it in 4 low

I'm locked in the rear too but I usually use 4 lo or 4 hi full time. Never really use part time. Just wondering if there is an advantage to using part time instead full time.

If you're going to have any wheel off the ground or where it could easily spin, be in PartTime.

it is best to always be in 4wd whether hi or low just to not promote wheel spin. the more wheel spin, the more damage to the trail. too much damage and the trail gets closed. once a trail gets closed, the MNR will usually never reopen it ever again.
