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.
