Interestingly, I was considering this same question 3 months ago....Compact 4WD or a larger 2WD tractor.
I purchased the 4WD Kioti CK4010 SEHC with factory cab, and have been extremely happy with the tractor.
Go 4WD and you will not regret the downsizing of the tractor.
Iterating what I said in my post. I went from a 100 hp row crop, long frame, 2wd to a 65 compact 4wd and I'm using the same set of implements with relative ease. The cultivator in the pictures in my previous answer could be run at B2 (out of C4 gears) with about 100 rpm drop at 2600 from up to down in the soil you see caked on it.
