A 2 Prong Drive is commonly used for soft/green/unseasoned timber and wood which is out of balance. The two prong drive digs deeper into the wood to give a better grip on soft wood. May split hardwood. The 4 Prong Drive is commonly used for seasoned wood and hard woods to give more contact points to minimise the risk of splitting the wood as it digs less deeply into the surface than the 2 prong drive. Shallower grip may rip soft wood when turning.
