Try one you might like it. I did. Branson for me. Bought it in '07 new 4wd, cab, and FEL. Would do it again hands down.
On the 2 vs 4wd. My first loader was on a ford 4000 4 cyl with 600-16 front tires as I recall...thin. The axle had already been broken, welded and turned upside down putting the stress on the unwelded portion. When you turn the axle upside down on that series and younger Fords, the wheels sit out at a funny angle and steering is awkward.
