Yes, MFWD makes a difference. A big difference. I wouldn't think of buying a tractor without it. While some will argue that you can set up and ballast a 2 wheel drive to pull just as effectively as a MFWD, the simple fact is that most people don't. MFWD covers a lot of situations without the constant need to change ballast. Mabey one should change the ballast... but the fact is, most don't. I think you'll also find that when you load a tractor down to it's limit and add all the rear ballast that's practical on a 2 wheeler you'll find that a MFWD similarly ballasted will pull it's socks off. Been doing it for years here. That's when you throw more weight on the front of the MFWD and keep going. There is a reason why I get away with pulling 4/12-20"s with a 70 hp MFWD. Big front tires and 11500# dead weight. A two wheel won't because it doesn't have the rubber without going to some ungodly tire... The other factor is wet ground, and like it or not, we've had a lot of it here this year. I perish the thought of even trying to get anything done here with a 2 wheel drive. The MFWD's got through. They left some bad ruts in places. A big mess for next year... but we got mostly done. Without it we'd have got nothing done.
