Well, that's a casuality, I tested everything on a short track in Austria today: Here we go (navigation app) did send me through the shortest road, shortcut, about 200m up in the woods, no car had passed there in years, not useful, there is an asphalt road around it, slightly longer.
And there was a trunk of several meters, thickness of my leg, or thickness of the forearm of
@Tazzieman, more or less parallel to the track and other branches and mud. Ideal situation to test the stuff.
Central diff lock in high was hard but quite OK to engage. I had to move the car several times to engage the "low" position, a meter or two backwards and forward again, and trying to engage again, indeed in neutral position.
I didn’t succeed to pass the obstacle. moved somme smaller pieces of wood. I then engaged rear diff, it took also some moving of the car, but it got engaged. Still no succes. I engaged the front diff lock, quite easily (beginner's luck?). And succeeded in moving two meters forward. Nice. But I gave up. Testing the diff locks was OK for me, and the time I would loose moving some smaller wooden trunks was not worth the effort.
Then in rear, trying to disengage the front and rear diff locks, I managed to damage one of my rear lights, damned ...

It took quite some time before all the diff lock lights went out after disengaging, a minute or so (didn't chronometer).
Perhaps I should pass my driving licence again, because yesterday I didn't damage my roof ... almost not:

Disappointed, yes for the damage, but the experience was ok. I have also a small but long scratch from yesterday crossing another vehicle in the forest in Austria. This I don't mind, will not be the last.
. Anyway, I think I'd hate to see your low gears at rebuild time if I'm honest.
