it depends
Yes and no, you would need to have a two wheel drive rear drive shaft.
No. Well, you can "claim" to drift when all your really doing is dragging the rear around to drift properly. You will need a rear wheel drive car, such as a 240sx or rx7 or ae86
The benefit of driving 4 wheel drive cars is that you have the option to engage or disengage the four wheel drive when you need to. Four wheel drive is great on low traction surfaces (off road, snow, etc.).
Yes, but if you need four wheel drive you shouldn't be going too fast anyways
To engage four-wheel drive on a John Deere skidder, locate the four-wheel drive switch or lever, typically found on the operator's console. Ensure the machine is at a complete stop before activating the four-wheel drive. Depending on the model, you may need to pull the lever or press a button to engage it. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your skidder model.
For off reading you need 4 wheel drive but for the road or for racing you need rear wheel drive and for rallying 4 wheel drive
need to diconect four wheel drive
"horsepower, great control with accelerator and brakes (modulate) and a lack of friction overcome by the wheels." I have a difference of opinion to the following statement. If you can, purchase/download the "Drift Bible" and follow those guidelines. I know it sounds silly to listen to this, but the video is very informative and gives direct guidelines and how to do each kind of drift and what you need in your car to begin drifting. I have been following and have been a part of drifting for almost a decade now. I would personally recommend that you CAN drift in any type of vehicle. Being that car is front wheel drive, rear, or all wheel drive. The level of difficulty is more present than in other types of cars. But it is more common to drive a Rear Wheel Drive car to start drifting.
need to be in neutral or park .
You need to specify exactly which component you had in mind.
When the vehicle is not running it will not stay in 4x4. The new vehicles of today are not put in four wheel drive by pulling a lever, they are placed in four wheel drive by pushing a button. When pushing that button it engages the small motor in your transfer case telling it to apply pressure either by air or hydrolics. When the vehicle is in the off position it is not telling the transfer case to hold in the four wheel drive position. If the vehicle is stuck in four wheel drive when it is running you need to find out if it is all wheels drive all the time or it is only 2 wheel drive until you place it in either 4hi or 4lo.
Need to know if it is 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive.
