First let me say that Automatic Traction Control (ATC) was never meant to replace locking axles. ATC is great for counteracting wheel slip on paved surfaces, but if you go off-road then Diff Lock (cross-locked axles) may be required to keep you from getting stuck, or to pull yourself out of slippery terrain. At times you will see both of these products used on the same vehicle, especially today on tractors.
