I'll start by saying i'm learning as i go & have come a long way, but there are some maintenance issues on my mule sx that must be addressed & i've got nobody around with experience & cannot bring it to a shop.
I've got rolling resistance when i jack up the front wheels. Months ago i thought i was possibly a brake issue but didn't yet have the equip. to pull the wheel hubs or press them back on... but the noise/friction seemed to resolve itself. I just checked up on it because i've got the tools for dealing with the brake system now and i noticed the wheels dont really spin... theres a lot of resistance and i can hear it coming from the front diff. I can't remember if it used to do that before, but i dont think it did. Its not the drive shaft or u-joints, but i've yet to pull them to be certain. it really sounds like its in the front diff. just where the drive shaft connects.
Should the front wheels - when in neutral and in 2wd and no diff. lock - spin freely? Theres too much drag for mine to even go once around. Can anyone point me in a direction? Otherwise its trial and error with cv axles, ball joints, brakes, etc. and i dont have the $ or time for that.
I'm in over my head and really hoping someone can help. I'll try to make a video of whats happening, hopefully the sound will come through well. Maybe that will help diagnose it. Thanks.

I am having a hard time getting an issue diagnosed on my 2017 Mahindra 1000 Crew Diesel. Essentially what happens is you can drive it as normal for about 15 minutes at full speed. It will then slow down by itself to about 5 mph. Then all 4 wheels will lock up. It will intermittently still roll while in neutral but after a while the wheels will lock up again. If you let it sit for a while you can usually get it going again for about another 15 minutes. This happened two times in a row for us and then it wouldn't move at all. I took the CVT cover off (which was a complete PIA btw) and the belt was shredded. At this time I assumed that was the issue. I thought the first time it happened the belt may have just been slipping and then the second time it finally gave way completely. The belt was wrapped around the clutches pretty badly so I decided to take it to a local guy that fixes SxS. He replaced the belt and we assumed everything was ok. Picked it up and the exact same thing happened as before after a few minutes of driving it slowed down to about 5 mph and the wheels would intermittently lock in neutral while we tried to tow it back home. Got it back to the guy that replaced the belt and he admittedly told me he had never worked on this make. He thought it may be one of the clutches but they appear to be working. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be?
To add a little context I bought this used from an individual. He told me everything worked great and it did when I test drove it (obviously not long enough I think I only drove it for like 10 minutes then loaded it on a trailer). This happened the first time after driving it the first 15 minutes from getting it home.

I own a 2013 kawasaki mule 4010 diesel 4x4 and I've replaced the wheel bearings in the left front 4 times over the past year. Twice with oem bearings and Twice with aftermarket bearings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
