[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 4048311, member: 7203"] i guess i am and old felerr but. in my hey day there weren't any fron't wheel drive tractors available and then later the now popular small compact tractors with 4wd became available. i have run both and found that a 4wd utility tractor that has not been properly ballasted works pretty good because it puts traction under the load... if you try to run the same tractor in 2wd without ballast or wide front tires you are in trouble and is dangerous. add ballast properly and a set of wide tires on the front to the 2wd and the differences almost completely go away between the two tractors but not quite. does the added fuel consumption and maintenance on the front wheel drive make sense???? for most work probably not.
