Hi Jason,

Well… first things first… what kind/model is your current 2-wd tractor?

What prevents you from using your present tractor?

Why do you need another 2-wd tractor that you can’t do with your first 2-wd?

Over the years, I’ve owned nothing but 2-wd tractors and they did everything I asked from them… now I own a MFWD tractor and can go places on our property… I don’t believe has seen “humans” in 50+ years… since it can go more places, I ask more from it that I never considered with my 2-wd units. Because of the MFWD, I find new things to do that I wouldn’t think of doing with my 2-wd’s. The last couple years, the prices have plummeted on older 2-wd units… however the older 4-wd units command Top Dollar!

But I have to agree, not everyone needs a MFWD, nor does everyone need a Front End Loader… but once you do own them… I promise, you will find unlimited ways to put those new found tools to work…! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ive got a L3000dt and have been very happy with it. for an economy tractor it is great.
i had to get something in my budget plus i would rather have more implements than a bigger payment.

Either will be great but like many others have said get the 4wd. i wouldnt have one without it now. even mowing i have used it really wet areas that 2wd won't go into without getting stuck it will.
i used to drive a ford 3600 2wd. it's like 45 hp . well this little economy tractor will go places it would only dream about. in 4wd i think they said it's like adding 10 hp. i believe it!

i would highly recommend 4wd. and a FEL ! worth the extra.

I had been using 2 wd ford tractor, 45 hp for years....Just bought 4 wd Kubota 3130HST with fel, I would never go back to 2 wd, When I get in spot where rear wheels spin, slide lever into 4wd, It just doesn't spin.....I recently started grading my ditches,..hehehe, They are full of water & mud!!! The Bota handles it well!! BTW, that allows me a chance to use that Power Washer I've had in storage for ten years!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Anyway, If you have it, You will use it!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
