Regarding traction and handling ONLY:

What's the difference between having a Detroit locker or a spool in my Front D60?

I have heard that a spool would be more difficult to deal with in snow than a D.L.

For some reason I don't get this because other than going forward/straight ahead, a D.L. will lock up. Right

?

And a spool just makes things simpler and stronger.

Will a D.L. unlock while climbing a hill and turning

?

Thanks for any input and advise

!
