Dave if that field is that wet FWD isn't going to make the crop grow. It still needs to be drained. I have FWD and I still stay out of the fields untill there dry or I will do more damage than good. Fwd is to put more horsepower to the soil in normal conditions not to mud in crops. My personal opinion is any thing more than 150hp is to much for 2wd.To keep tires from slipping on 150 plus hp you need to much weight so thats where the fwd comes in. If your going to buy 85 hp fwd for field work there is to much extra upkeep and purchase cost on the front axle to justify it. Why not just get 100hp tractor and save money. Now when it comes to front end loaders thats a differant story because of unbalanced loads on the rear axle. Just my thoughts.
