I've no idea what hp tractor you are looking at, and you weren't sure of the model # so I won't try to guess. Kubota makes 15 to 120 or so hp tractors.
Critters under 35 hp that Kubota makes tend to be good but compact machines of light weight, and you'd really be hard pressed to get the most out of them without 4wd. They tend to get stuck or unbalanced with only 2wd. They are not like 50 year old farm tractors, they are degined to have that 4wd available.
The midrange sizes are less so, as you just get into a bigger heavier frame, and can hang some weight on them to balance them up. Tho it still is nice to have the 4wd. And as others say, there is not much price difference any more when new, but you take a real hit on price when you try to sell a used 2wd off again. Most folk want 4wd these days, if resale is of any importance.
I'd think any good salesman is going to point out the positives of what he has to sell, and point out the negatives of what he does not have available to sell.... That's just marketing, not lying.
It's up to the customer to sort out what is important to _them_.
