2wd vs 4wd; unfrozen ground

[Crash277]

As you go skidding down a hill in 2wd, how are you going to put it into 4wd while pooping your pants and hoping the things does not go sideways on you?

I can’t have that problem where I live. My yard is flat no hills. I leave mine in 4wd because of mud

Do you leave your machines parked outside on severe slopes and wait for slick ice before trying to move it in 2WD? I don't.

Shoot! I've totally experienced this with just wet grass on turf tires in my 2wd ford with 60"mmm on my hills You learn to avoid those situations and get a bit used to it after it happens a few times. Getting stuck on a slight slope in half-frozen muck is a "joy" I will never repeat on my Kubota.

Back to the original point, I use 4wd all the time and rarely switch to 2 due to my terrain and the work I am doing.
