But would you have engaged "diff lock" before getting stuck or after?
So you moved the switch (for the old a lever) to be able to engage diff lock, If needed.
Was the farmer impressed you made it there

Moving the terrain response knob does more than engage the diff lock. lt alters how the traction control works.
For instance
ln the default mode it seems to kill wheelspin, so it will stop a spinning wheel to try and gain traction.
ln the mud/ruts mode it seems to allow wheelspin, to an extent anyway.
But realistically l had no real idea what was going on....just that it made it across the field. The old Defender is obviously more "hands on" which most on this forum (including me) would prefer.
lt does have switchable low range but it didn't seem to need it on this occasion.
The farmer has a double cab. l assume 4wd or he'd never get it off the property in Winter.

I understand.
It doesn't engage diff lock, as its probably a variable lock anyway, it affects all the other systems.
The "mud n ruts" is alot more complicated than the diff lock lever, for good or bad

l would have engaged it before crossing the field. As l should have done with the new one (change the driving mode)
l have to admit l haven't really read the handbook about the off road driving modes. Not that l even got a handbook with it.
