I think you'd be taking a step backwards, going from 4WD to 2WD.That 231 Aint going to be enough Tractor for what you want to do in the way of moving rolls,but it's a good utility tractor for mowing and light duty stuff.If i had to compare the 231 to another Tractor, it would be about the size of a Ford 2000.shutskytj":3q4df9ek said:Well my inital plan is to replace my Belarus which is a 53 horse bucket loader but 4X4 if I get the MF I will have to sell the Belarus and I don't know if that is a good idea or not the Belarus is still running fine I do have connections for parts in NY but I still wanted to upgrade and this tractor I may can afford I don't do extreme heavy work I did with the Belarus when I was clearing fence lines and stuff when I first moved I just don't know if I want to go to a 2X4 can't make up my mind
