I have a 50 HP 4 WD with FEL and it does OK pulling a bushhog in 2WD as long as I dont try to turn sharp and climb a hill at the same time, then the tires will spin out even if it is dry on grass. I never thought I would need a 4 WD till I got this one and I bought it on recommendation that 4WD was required with a FEL. They are absolutely right. With a FEL,you are almost required to have a 4WD just to get around. I also would never buy a tractor to use with a FEL with a direct drive gear. My shuttleshift is great with the 12forward/4reverse shift on the go transmission. I have never had a HST but I would think that would be similar in performance.
