There is nothing special about the conditions in the Rio Grande valley the fine sand you speak of (blow sand) is easily navigated with all type tires from hdap R1, R3 and R4. If you were to do some really heavy ground engaging tasks the having 4x4 is better, you get more drawbar pull for the machine weight. If you have to operate on steep slopes I prefer 4x4 for all wheel braking, but for a flat piece of ground such as you discribed a two wheel drive tractor is all you need.
