Just purchased a new Ranger XP Northstar and I'm loving learning more about the internals. Keep it up!

Love the detailed info, I have just purchased a 570HD & this video has given me a lot more knowledge about how I should be using the turf mode & 2wd mode.

Thank you I enjoy all of your videos on these topics.

Awesome explanation. I've known for the most part how the Hilliard front differential works since I've researched it and been an owner of multiple Polaris vehicles for over 20 years and do my own maintenance. Maybe you could touch on ADC or EPS.

Awesome description and now i understand you guys

Tolle Videos von Euch! Finde es super wie ihr die technische Seite noch einmal in euren Videos erklärt! Fahre selber einen Polaris Ranger 1000 Modell 2021. Ich nutze ihn für die Jagd und zum Brennholz machen. Absolut geniales Fahrzeug und technisch einfach grandios. Grüße aus Deutschland

Outstanding explanation of the drive system. After my 2009 700XP was stolen in August 2022, I purchased a new 2022 1000EPS. I love the various drive modes. My primary use is as a work vehicle around a water ski lake. Turf mode is invaluable!

A video on Active Decent control would be great.

Great job, guys! Amazing explanation.👌🏻

I love my 2015 Ranger 800 6x6. Best all around machine for the property. I wish Polaris still sold these machines. They are tanks! Great video guy's!

I love to see this guys keep it up awesome content!Razor content

I am enjoying these videos as they are great and give people more knowledge about the vehicles they are buying. It would be nice to see some about the generals though.

We will keep that in mind😀

I have been driving Polaris vehicle since the late 90s and I understand how this driveline works, but it was still beneficial to listen to the engineers explanation. Keep the shop talk videos coming. I just upgraded to the turbo R and so far I love that low gearing.

Great to hear! Thanks for riding with us, Jeremy👊

Good video!

Would love to see a chart of the differential gear ratios just for different build ideas I have

Polaris recommends not running in turf mode unless necessary. I believe this is because the axle shafts run in bushings and will wear over time if running at different speeds side to side...is this correct? Since it turns better in turf mode, riders are tempted to run in turf mode often since it doesn't buck when turning on hard pack...

Good video. I would like to see a similar video on the new Pro R. I know it has 2, all and diff lock. I would like to see how this system works.

I have a '07 Polaris Sportsman X2, no power steering but with the turf mode on it steers really easy and the turning radius is not much more than a regular ATV.

The video ad nice content. Really good information

I have 7200 miles on my 2017 900xp never once have I had a differential problem in front or back. It's the best AWD system I have used. All 4 tires are working with this system. Other machines I've owned would give 3 wheels working, it'd piss me off because the front tire with the most to gain never had any power to it.

Good video. Question: If legally driving on pavement for extended periods, should turf mode be used to avoid damage to the rear locker differential?

When I drive my Polaris, XP 1000 I have it in 2 Wheel Drive

I would think so.

You touched on the waiting to safely energize the front diff. I get it but.... I'll say, I love the Polaris AWD, but something that annoys me vs the other typical 4x4's is that I'm hauling down an open trail. I need 4x4 now. Other systems can be engaged at speed and you're good. With Polaris, my AWD will never engage unless I'm going less than 18-20km/h. Yes I can leave it on, but I don't always want that. From an ECU perspective, can it not intelligently know I'm going straight and it's "safe" to engage at 30, 40, 50km/h ?

Good content. So whats the big issue with people blowing out the differentials due to turfmode issues? Is that due to being in turfmode or or in 2x4 or 4x4? I have 2 friends that have blown the casing from not even riding hard or putting the machine in binds. 1 was from loading on trailer. And what are some things to prevent this, perhaps not using turfmode or?

Damm. The war on turf mode. Do you use or not? Friend of mine has 900 ranger and he runs all his trails in turf mode and just use others when he needs it? I don’t know what to do? 2020 XP1000. Still confused

This front differential performs better in sticky situation’s than the defender front diff.

What does the roll pin sticking out of the ring gear used for in the diff?

Another question- if driving on a non delicate surface is it better to use 2wd to save the solenoid from overheating due to being energised all the time?

What year models does this video cover? Or are all turf mode equipped machines the same?

In europe all the atv from Polaris have it! Utv i have no idea!

You talk about AWD and Turf Mode but what about 2WD? When do you use that?

Is this why polaris have ADC because you only get engine braking on the rear wheels? Because the front wheel is freewheeling?

I always wondered why they dont call them full shafts? Where is the other half of the shaft?

@tylermacconnell217

A full shaft would go from left tire to right tire. These are called half shafts because the differential sits in the middle.

So for my standard driving should I have my ranger in 2 wheel lock or AWD?

I usually leave mine in turf mode. It makes it a lot easier to turn.

This is what I’m talking about. Do you or don’t you. Answer the question Polaris. Is it not ok to trail ride in tuff mode and switch in and out when needed????

"Turf Mode" should be offered on the RZR's. On hard pack trails or a gravel road having the rear two tires locked together causes some unsafe conditions around corners by way of the rear end sliding out.

I have the 2020 55in Scrambler S I'm running 29 inch tires on the front and stock 27 in tires on the back. I have been hesitant to engage 4-wheel drive because I'm uncertain if this will damage the front differential. Does anyone know if there's enough tolerance in the differential for 2 inch difference between tires, or will this mess up both front and rear differentials?

Tires need to be close in size, have the rear tires a bit bigger if you want but never the front. The way the AWD works is awesome, but don't do stupid things like bigger tires in front. Look at yer owner's manual. If you have bigger tires on the front leave it in turf or 2WD. Get them tires changed, most of the frt & rear diff problems come from mis matched tires. Don't run different sized tires on the back either, pair em off.

Wish i had $1 for every time I heard turf mode blowing up on rangers causing thousands of dollars damage.
