All I have is an old ford 600 2wd I get by fine with it.My buddy Deuce bought a compact cat 4x4 and it is a hoss for a small 28hp tractor,he uses his 4x4 alot.Good luck with your decision.
LOL, Milt, not really, but after I do the fluids ck and start her up, the seat belt goes on for sure! When I'm down in the woods, I always keep it in low-low and just ease along, some of our plots are on steep hillsides and I've used a 2wd on them before, but I had to stop, backup, repostion and start again, with the tractor in 4wd, I don't have all that to do. It's like you and Fatboy said, use them as intended and there's not much of a need for 4wd, but the thing about Phil and knowing he has water on his place and from a old post about a "lane" he wants cut, I expect he'll be happier with 4wd, but , your right, keep them in the plots, fields and pastures where they're meant to be used and a 2wd is fine.huntnnut said:Dixie, I hope you wear a helmet when you're on that tractor....You sound like a wildman on one........
Seriously, I understand where you're coming from also.
Phil, If you're planning on using it like a 4-wheeler you probably do need 4-wheel drive....
But isn't an 850 a combine?fatboy84 said:Phil,
I saw an super nice MF 850 (I think) for $7800 for sale on McEver Rd near Flowery Branch or Oakwood today. Looked brand new.
