That was one of the deciding factors on my purchase of a 570 premium. I have been using an early Honda Rubicon that was four-wheel-drive only and on my lawn I just tore things up. There was an aftermarket set up or you could go to adjust rear wheel drive but it still would’ve torn things up. I liked the Honda Maddock transmission that they still use on their top-of-the-line Rincon. I did a lot of research and I am sure that I made a good decision and this Ranger is going to be great for what I need
Very helpful video. Just got a new Ranger & have been carefully breaking in. I've gone through the owners manual & it didn't say much about the middle mode-locked differential - setting. Your excellent to the point video really cleared that up. Thanks👍
One wheel drive made me think of "one wheel peel"....lol. It's the equivalent to a limited slip differential in a car or truck. Thanks for the demonstration! 😎❄
Well, that was an excellent illustration of the different drive modes. If I might add, although 4X4 mode is great for towing or driving in rugged and slippery terrain... it is essential to make sure you do not use it on dry pavement. To do so can cause loss of control on corners and damage the drive train. When you get ready to replace those tires... take a look at the Maxxis Bighorns. They are more aggressive without tearing up your turf. And, you’ll love the ride. They soften the bumps and respond admirably to turns and side hill climbs. We have them on our Gator 590i and will be replacing them with the same tire when they wear out. Once again, thanks for getting out in the cold and showing us your stuff!
Excellent points. Thanks for including this info. We actually don't even use the 2WD mode on dry pavement, since it locks the rear tires together. I do like those Maxxis Bighorns. They were on a UTV that we rented out west, and they did great!
@@snookman9920 on dry pavement almost always use 2WD… and high range. For a steep hill or pulling a trailer… you might need low range but still use 2WD.
@@PurpleCollarLife yes from a distribution center or the factory I don’t really know but it’s only supposed to be a couple weeks. Ordered a few options because if you order them at the time of purchase the labor to install is no charge. Several hours for winch and heater so it was quite a savings at 90 bucks per hour for shop time. I’m an older guy with some health issues so getting on and off a traditional ATV is getting pretty old. Been using a walk behind snowblower for decades so a plow on the front of this thing is going to be pretty sweet👍🏻
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 Well congratulations. Sounds like the new machine will be perfect for you. It was really smart to order the options now and not have to pay the additional labor. I imagine those labor costs could really add up quickly! You'll love plowing with the UTV. I always have enjoyed plowing with our Honda Foreman ATV, but now that I've been plowing with the John Deere tractor and a front snow plow, it's a much better system and getting on and off the 4-wheeler to adjust the blade, etc.
Thank you for the video 1st time side by side owner here now I understand the drive modes and when to use them. Now if you have a video for operating the heater I'm in business its giving heat, but either the vents are plugged or the fan doesn't work.
Glad to help! I wasn't sure about the drive modes when I first got the Ranger either. There wasn't much information available. I'm glad this video helped. As far as the heater - I wish mine HAD a heater. Unfortunately, I don't have one so I can't be much help with that issue. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Is it really 1 wheel drive or is it an open rear differential? That button looks like it has only drive on the rear right tire. Wouldn’t that lead to uneven tire wear? An open differential would split the torque evenly between the tires. The problem is when one wheel is on ice or in mud the torque transferred to that tire would be very low and since the torque is split that is the only torque you get on the other tire (that might have grip) Therefore a locked or braked differential is good on off-road vehicles.
Yea I wouldn't own a ranger without a windshield and roof that's is about as dumb as somebody driving a convertible in a snow or rainstorm lol great video👍👍
Thanks, Nathan. I agree. Even though our roof is homemade and our windshield is vinyl, it's better than nothing at all. You're right about driving a convertible in the snow! :) Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Jeff, there has been some debate on this. I think the rear end is actually an open differential. When you put it on jacks and spin one side forward, the other side spins backwards. There is a locking function (electronic) that seems to lock the rear axle.
Good information. I wasn’t familiar with the one wheel drive setting
Thanks, Brock. Merry Christmas!

Great instruction of the do's and don'ts of the Ranger in the different drive modes.
Thanks!

I am still in breakin mode of my Ranger 1000 XP Crew. For driving on pavement on curvy mountains dry roads, which mode would you use?

Nice video Purple Collar Life!
Thanks!
@@PurpleCollarLife yup! Also another early Merry Early Christmas!
Very well done and informative video....love the perspective of the wheels...
Glad you enjoyed it! I like that view too!
Good vid. Helpful in getting me ready to take delivery of a 570 premium. No more throwing my leg over a machine or difficult steering. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! You're going to love the 570 premium. Did you have to order one? I was wondering if stocks were low.

Keep a close eye on your wheel bearings, The Rangers eat bearings, just changed one on my Ranger.
Thanks for the tip! I probably should give those a look. Our Ranger is getting a little noisy!
Never knew there was one wheel drive. Good info.
Thanks! I didn't know it until I got the Ranger. I thought all UTVs would be like our Honda Foreman with the locked rear axle all the time.
Keep up the great family works and have a Very Happy Christmas time !!! Cheers !!!
Thanks, you too!

Hello from your friends at Logan's lego vids also merry Christmas
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Purple People!

I can't wait to be able to afford one. It must have been fun making the video haha. Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

I believe it's open differential. Because I feel it shift side to side when it's spinning. Thanks!
@@PurpleCollarLife sounds logical!
Hello my friend 👍 have a great Christmas 🎄
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Same to you!
Does that one have power steering?
No, just manual steering. It's not too bad.
i like your ranger
Thanks! We love it too.
Many Yuletide blessings
Thank you! You too.

It’s not one wheel drive. It’s a limited slip differential system. One wheel drive would be terrible
