Chebanse, IL.....

I don't know...opinions are one thing-but it's hard to argue w/nation wide sales. They're selling a lot of mfwd. You have to stop & think when you're all by yourself sometime that maybe not everyone else is wrong. I realize you're not saying that...but my point is that MFWD tractors are still selling good. They'll pull a lot & still drive nice. We mow road ditches with one.

But, we've also been thru this scenario before. I think when you often start pricing you find you can't really do everything you want in a 4wd. They seem to not offer the xmission choices of the mfwd. Hydraulics usually seem more basic in 4wd....though now there are some large pump options. If you're going to do ANY in-row work, then you're limited to 18.4 something tires. Might be OK for smaller 4wd.

I'd sure hate to give up our mfwd tractors for only 4wd models.
