A method for managing a differential lock in a machine is provided. The method receives an operator command, by a controller, for engaging the differential lock of the machine from a user input device. The method determines, by the controller, an articulation angle of the machine in response to the operator command. The method determines, by the controller, if the articulation angle exceeds a first threshold angle. The first threshold angle is based on a ground speed of the machine The method selectively prevents, by the controller, engagement of the differential lock, if the articulation angle exceeds the first threshold angle. The method provides a notification, by the controller, of the prevention of the engagement of the differential lock based on the articulation angle exceeding the first threshold angle.
