Try one you might like it. I did. Branson for me. Bought it in '07 new 4wd, cab, and FEL. Would do it again hands down.
On the 2 vs 4wd. My first loader was on a ford 4000 4 cyl with 600-16 front tires as I recall...thin. The axle had already been broken, welded and turned upside down putting the stress on the unwelded portion. When you turn the axle upside down on that series and younger Fords, the wheels sit out at a funny angle and steering is awkward.
Any load, even the loader itself was a real problem for the front end in steering and sinking.
Next comes a JD 4020D 2wd PS with 9L-14 as I recall....fat tire but even it was a problem when working soft ground.
Then I retire and take some savings and buy a Branson with 4wd. The first 4wd vehicle of any sort I ever owned. I've posted numerous pics of it on here and that HD front end and fat tires are great. But when you add the ability to pull too it's marvelous.
