Sponz, The 4x4 articulated tractors have a very definite place in todays farming. They work well for pulling sub-soilers, one pass tillage equipment, and are very adept at handling no-till equipment. The operation I"m with has 3 4x4"s which could not be replaced with 2WD"s, or 2WD with FWA. A 30 ft no till grain drill loaded with 100 bushel of seed requires both a lot of power and a lot of traction. We use an IH 4568 for that. We also use a 4x4 Massey 1500 to handle a 20 ft no-till grain drill, and a 4x180 white for a 12 row no-till row planter. We also use the 4-180 to haul and power a 500 bu, grain cart. So to answer your question, they may or may not be plain ole junk, but they certainly do the job of some of their more contempory tractors.
