On a 20-30 HP Iseki, older model (TS2500) is 4WD important feature to have?

It just depends on what you're going to do with the tractor and what kind of terrain you'll be doing it in. It can be the equivalent of about 25% more power than a 2WD of the same size, it won't get stuck quite as easily and have to be pulled out and it's a help with a front end loader, so to me, it's important; might not be for your uses.

Terrain will play a big factor in 4WD . With any loads in the FEL , going down even a small incline , or rough terrain, you can get one of the rear wheels light enough to lose traction or you could get wheel hop.

I mow a 5 acer field that in on a incline.

I have had the rear wheel come up enough to loose traction using the finnish mower. That was with no FEL.

I am always in 4WD when I am mowing or in the woods.

With no brakes on the front wheels and you could find yourself changing your underware a lot.

Go with 4WD if you can afford it .
