How would you factor in MFWD? Do you think it would be ok? AWD is the only reference I can think of, but AWD is different across manufacturers in cars. Subaru Foresters have pretty good off road capability. Other AWD cars not so much. Tractors I don't know.If the OP is looking for a compact tractor in the 40hp range with a loader then yes 4 wheel drive is very important for getting things done hassle free , I have had both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive loader tractors for a long time and the two wheel drives are fine for some things but stink at others, Get the right tractor the first time and you wont be dissapointed.
