The place where 4wd is realy put to use is extensive loader work. I have a JD 210c that is 2wd and it does most anything I could ask of it and at less than 2/3 the price of anything 4wd from that vintage.4wd on a truck saves you many times in slippery situations to get unstuck. 4wd on a loader mostly just lets you dig better with the loader bucket.
