"Open" differential is non~limited slip or non positraction. They are less expensive and if you get one wheel stuck only the free one will spin. There are no advantages that I am aware of to have one. On the contrary, it's easier to get stuck.

How can I tell if my differential is a posi trac?

Jack one side of the car until the tire is free to turn. If it will not rotate with the trans in neutral (brakes released), the differential is a (sure grip) (limited slip). If the wheel rotates it indicates an 'open' differential..Jack one side of the car until the tire is free to turn.

An open differential in a vehicle's drivetrain system allows the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds when turning. This helps the vehicle navigate corners smoothly by allowing the outside wheel to rotate faster than the inside wheel.


Which type of differential is used in tractor?

A locking differential is used in tractors which provide increased traction compared to a standard or open differential. It restricts each of the two wheels on an axle to the same rotational speed without regard to available traction or differences in resistance seen at each wheel.

What is better for drifting an open differential or a viscious differential?

Do you mean a viscous clutch LSD? Having an LSD (Limited Slip Differential) makes drifting much easier to start and maintain than the stock open differential. From what I've seen when you have an open diff and both wheels are spinning, if one gains traction, then the wheel with the least traction will steal most of the torque. on a LSD if one wheel gains traction then the LSD will give more power to that wheel hopefully allowing it to keep free spinning. On most AE86s drivers will put in TRD 1.5 LSDs and ultimately LSDs will allow a more continual drift vs open or locked diffs. ;)
