Final Drive and Differential Bevel gear differential - operation

Disadvantage: Heavy Duty off road condition If slipping @ any one side of wheel = uneven torque distribution Higher torque to slipping and lower torque to gripping

Chance to lose the traction power

also start to spin w.r.t obstructed wheel

To overcome such spin

provision of sufficient torque to the gripping wheel = positive differential lock / differential lock
