[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1357120, member: 9096"] Yes, resale value is better, but only if 4wd is still working when you sell it, and you do pay a significant premium when you buy it. I challenge anyone with any 4wd tractor to turn tighter than my MF165. I can see how 4wd may be beneficial for some people haying, but in these parts you NEVER have wet spots in a field. I am in the market for a ~75hp 4wd with loader for loading manure spreaders, etc.. Looking at something like an IH 784 or similar, which is built heavy. Yes a lot of the newer tractors are built too light for their HP rating.. all fine and dandy if you're doing PTO intensive work, but trying to do heavy field work and they just spin. All I'm advocating is the right tool for the job.. you don't drive finishing nails with a 9 lb sledge [/QUOTE]
