    My first tractor was an old Cub LoBoy 154, 2WD, turfs, a very heavy front blade, MMM and no loader. It was a huge step up from the 38"...

    I’ve gotten stuck (many times) on my gravel driveway in 2WD; 4WD is worth its weight in gold. My POS 2016 F150 WT (w/o locking/limited...

    I know you said. ".....best bang for your buck", but even if it might cost a bit more I'd get a HST, 4x4. Two must have criteria. Once...

    My place is not too bad hilly. Personally I'd rather have a 4x4. Just didn't know how well that M4800 2wd would be, and if that was a...

    None of the tasks you describe NEED 4wd. And if you've never had it you won't miss it. Resale doesn't sound like a problem for you...
