I've watched lots of pulling videos... The front ballast is there to keep the front end down... or try to. It's not helping the rear wheels grip when the front wheels are carrying wheght. The same is true in the field with a plow. The recomendation on weighting a 2WD is still 30/70, the same as it always was... and that figure is about maintaining steering control. Actually it may have been 25/75... but the point is the same.
I suppose you don't need MFWD if you're working on a dry billiard table while making hay. All I can tell you is that around here the last few years... you'd be spending a lot of time on the benches. The last 2 years were so wet we needed MFWD just to drag a baler around in some places.
You can't have had much of a CV joint if you're breaking them either... I can put the tires against the baler tounge with either of the MFWD's that I bale with and the shaft has never given any trouble. Ofcourse that's a Claas baler too.... so performance is to be expected.
There are very VERY few situations today where MFWD will not quickly pay for itself. You may have one of them, but you're probably in about 2% of the population.

It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
