Agree with Marloweg. In my mind you should never use it unless needed. You want that differential to be able to operate/adjust, whatever term you want to apply. Otherwise you are putting a lot of strain on that rear end.
The same for 4wd, in my opinion you should only use it when needed. I won't give the detailed examples of why I feel this way, but the tire technology has gotten so good and then you add duals, sometimes in the front also, that the strain on the driveline is really high, especially when turning. It is like when your truck is in 4wd and you are turning on blacktop. Again, my opinion.
When I plow with my JD 4250 the only time I use the differential lock is if I get in tough going, usually a wet spot. Then I have tap the brake to turn.
