THIS is the exact thought that made me think this tractor isn't worth it. Doing a google image search brings up about 75% 4wd models.
I don't want it for heavy digging, mostly just moving around firewood, cleaning branches, spreading gravel, etc. I would mostly use it as a large wheelbarrow. I don't want to mow with it just brush hog a few times a year in 2 small pastures. And I already have a 3pt log splitter I'd use on it. I'd also use it to maintain the gravel driveway. But without 4wd I don't think it will get around in the woods well enough. I will want to clear snow with it too. I am in NJ and we usually only get one or 2 storms a year that are over a foot, most of our significant snowfalls are probably in the 6-10" range but can be wet and heavy.
If I'm going to spend the money on a loader I guess I will hold out for 4wd. Especially since the property does have an old 661 that hasn't run in about 10 years. I should spend a little time and see if that engine turns over and if so I don't think it's worth buying another 2wd tractor just to get a loader. The 661 is rough but it was stored in at least a crappy shed so it wasn't always getting rained on. The problem of course is always just time to work on this stuff...
