New owner of a 2000 model DK 45. Put into 4WD in mud. Noticed only the front left and rear righjt wheels spun. Other two did not move.
What could or is the problem?
Thanks

This is normal for any differential. I don't believe that there is any tractors with limited slip in this range, although there maybe a few european ones.
The DK45 has a rear differential lock the lever is near your feet so you can step on it. This provides you with 3 wheels spinning. Some have locks for front and rear. ....

It is normal.
There is a rear differential lock to lock in both rear wheels, a hooked metal lever you step down with your right heel.
Its best not to have the wheels spinning much when stepping on the diff. lock , once you feel it lock in, hold the peddle down (both rear wheels will now spin).

As a new owner I suggest you read your manual. It should discuss the diff lock feature. An important thing to note when using this is that you won't have steering control as both rear wheels are driving with no slip. ....

The locks also don't necessarily disengage by simply letting up on the lever if you need to steer. There's pressure on the mechanism as long as the tires have unequal traction.
If you're unfamiliar with lock operation, the main thing is not to engage them at high engine rpm and especially if one tire is spinning. ....
