[QUOTE="SBMF 2015, post: 1756262, member: 39695"] Yeah about half hills. And I make big bales. 72" x 69" 15-1800lbs it's the fwd that makes the difference. In 2wd my tractor is pretty helpless. Flip that switch and your pushing mud with the front axle in March when the frost goes out. It also makes a difference how far out the bale is away from the tractor. When you take the bucket off and put the spear on a rnd bale is pretty close to the front axle. My dad has JD 2640, 2wd. He maybe moves 1 bale once a month so he just uses a spear that bolts on the front edge of the bucket. That puts the bale another 2' away from the front axle and takes a lot more weight off the back.
