I am new to the forum and about to purchase a new JD 5203 tractor with a loader. I going to work and mow about 5-10 acres. Just your general everyday maintenance stuff. However, I do plan on dragging a disc. I don't know whether to buy the 2wd or 4wd. I have been told that 4wd is better if I am gong to use the loader alot. But we are talking about $6k-$7k difference. Can I get by with the 2wd? Should I move up to the 5303 (64hp) to make up for not getting the 4wd? Should I stick to the R1 or Industrial tires?
Thanks for helping out a newbie.
