Would this work on a hydrostatic sprayer?

@Mr Happy ?

I would have thought most machines would have been designed for maximum traction anyway. I may be wrong.

When one wheel sinks, oil just flows to the easiest wheel to move, so jlyou just sit with one wheel spinning.

My sprayer has a lock to make sure all drive evenly when engaged. Never used it. When it’s that wet I put the floaters on and never gave any problems after that. Retro fitting in a hydrostatic system won’t be recommended. My sprayer reads the pressure in the system and it will hit 6000psi pulling in soft ground so messing with those pressures is risky. I’d consider a half load first.

Hydrostatic systems are a bit numb for reasons described above and you have less gearing/engine RPM tricks to try and get going again. Some sprayers also don't have a lot of places to pull them from, either.

I have two SANDS and they both operate this way, SANDS did used to offer a diff lock valve, similar to your OP I guess.
