P1000 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 rear differential shows locked in turf mode

Cables stretch also. It's not a set it and forget adjustment. I probably adjust mine once a year.

Yeah, it's a good thing to check. I do mine annually as well.

Well it was pretty obvious why mine wasn't working right either. I jacked the rear end up, made the adjustments and it worked like a champ. Thanks for all the great info.

Do you make this adjustment while the machine is in park and 2wd or while it’s in neutral and turf mode?

“To me it reads turn the rear wheel and check the release of the rear diff lock.” Only happens in neutral and turf mode. Then it proceeds to explain the alignment.

I’ve watched several videos and they are adjusting while in park and 2nd.

If I’m reading the manual correctly you are adjusting the turf mode/ disengagement of rear diff. So it should be in neutral and turf mode when making these adjustments.

can someone clear this up?

Follow this video. Get it set so it engages and disengages in 1/2 turn of the tire.

The method in the manual is insufficient.

I have seen a lot of posts about Pioneer's making a clanking/banging sound when shifting from 2WD to Turf Mode. I have made a video detailing how to fix this and what causes that. Please like and subscribe and I hope this helps some of you!

I was in park and 2wd when I adjusted mine. It's been 2 years since I've did it. It took me multiple times adjusting it to get it to work the way I wanted. Been good to go since.
