How does the DIFF LOCK perform?
See my response to your other post. The only "issue" I have had with my Tcat is a blown CVT belt, at 104 miles on the odometer. This is perhaps the 20th belt driven ATV I have owned in the last ten years, with Polaris, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Can Am ATVs having been owned, and this is the first belt failure I have had. It is my first Arctic Cat, and I'm not too impressed with the Arctic Cat CVT so far.

The locking differential performs just fine, it is a fully locking differential that is unchanged from '09 to '10 model years. Arctic Cat did change the switch that activates the locker though, and the '10 switch is easier to use. Go ahead and lock the front differential on a '09 Arctic Cat in your dealer's show room, and you'll see why people don't like that switch. It is a stupid design that is difficult to use.
