I'm bias to the blue, but for this instance ignore that!. Front assist is the way to go. a fancy trans on a 2wd is great, apart from when your stuck with a 2wd and loader!. I have 2 4wds with loaders.
I have had both stuck while being here on my own, and used the 4wd and loader to "extract" myself from snow situations, more times than I will admit. if I had been in the same situation with 2wd I would of been begging for help from the neighbors,or still there in the spring when it dried up!.
A friend just went 4wd and loader after 2wd cases.its only a cheap used Belarus,was all he could afford thats simple and cheap to fix for his farm,He wishes he had it when new, it's made his life so easy in spring thaw, and for other things as well.
Shuttle shift and all that's nice while it works, a few guys have said what a downer some of those trans are when they send a bill in the mail to fix them, if they quit and your the unlucky one owning it!.
round me there aren't any 2wd chore tractors and loaders guys use in the winter, and spring thaw now, that i can think of. Kinda tells a story Doesn't it.
I will just add one tractors a 5270 Belarus with no fluid/ no snow chains. But has a snow blower on all winter. the other is a 6400 valtra fluid rears, no snow chains , no snow blower, or fancy shuttle shift reverser trans. But i have a job trying to convince it it's not a Hough wheel loader with what it will push for snow in one pass.
