Your profile doesn't elaborate as to where you are located. If you live in an area with hilly terrain, 4WD is almost a necessity with a FEL. I can carry more uphill in my 66" bucket on my L3710DT than my uncle's much larger 2WD M4030SU with a 72" bucket simply because of the traction issue. He mainly uses his to move round bales and spent grain silage on level ground. In this type of use, his tractor can outperform mine. However, that type of thing is not what I typically do.
