We don"t buy one without it, but we don"t necessarily use it all the time. It"s just there when you need it. In a lot of situations it can keep you from making a mess by spinning through something. Also, like a MFWD tractor or rear-wheel assist combine, you can run it on softer ground and stay on top, while a 2wd will want to sink a little. Like I said we don"t have it so we can mud with them, but so we have it for normal situations. Its like insurance, you pay for it because you know it could be ugly if you don"t. Resale is easier, better, and in some cases you can get back the full cost of the upgrade when new in our area. My dad bought his first in "78 and his dad thought it was a waste, but after he saw how nice it was when pulling a cattle trailer in and out of a muddy barn lot or getting across a muddy ditch with a load of wood, he was a believer too. A 4wd 1/2 ton will do things that might be hard to believe for some. We"ve pulled tractors and heavy trucks off to start on gravel. You wouldn"t have gone anywhere for spinning with a 2wd even with the same engine. Simply put, they are just very handy, like a front-end loader on a tractor.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
