[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1444538, member: 9096"] It's all a tradeoff.. 4wd quickly gets expensive when something goes wrong, and it's not a rare occurrence. As to front ends, different models and makes will have different build qualities on them... We saw some 60hp David Brown and they were flimsy front ends.. then you look at something like a IH 684 family, and there's no way you're breaking that thing.. Ride quality depends greatly on the tire choice too, and most 4wd don't turn as sharp as most 2wd's (exceptions to everything). We don't have the kind of muck Kentucky seems to get, or not for as long (about 2 weeks)... We wouldn't mind getting a 4wd, but certainly not every tractor on a place needs to be. This is one we've been looking at.. I think it's a 784? I think it needs some work, runs fine but never gets used, big corporate ranch owns it [url=https://postimg.org/image/uhwo39brd/][img]https://s28.postimg.org/uhwo39brd/20150810_192503sm.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
