If buying a compact tractor without 4WD, leave the FEL at the dealers.Old farm tractors could get by with 2wd and a FEL, but they were a lot heavier than the todays compact tractors. With a newer compact tractor it is a good idea to have 4wd and rear balast and they do a good job. And the 4wd front end is built heavier duty than the 2wd version, so less problems.
Do they sell a FEL for a compact tractor that does not have 4WD?
Better yet, does any manufacturer sell a compact tractor that is NOT 4WD?
