That's exactly the point. What works for heavier industrial and Ag tractors doesn't apply to lighter compacts. The lighter tractors need 4wd, the heavier can use 2wd effectively.Two wheel drive works for 10k+ pound ag tractors, but it’s limiting in a 4k pound compact tractor.
A full size 2wd backhoe can work in slop that a compact tractor would need 4wd just to drive through.
Back to the OP's original question. I think he would do better to have a contractor put in as much of the drive as he can afford, and buy a nice smaller handy compact "chore" tractor to do work around the place. The driveway can be improved over time. It doesn't have to be done all at once.
There's a lot to learn
