MFWD will have a significant advantage, mostly because you are exerting horsepower over all four wheels instead of just two. In certain conditions, the MFWD will most likely outpull a 2WD machine for that reason. There is absolutely no comparison in wet conditions. Instead of having to drag whatever is being dragged, as well as push the front end through the mud, an MFWD machine will claw it's way through until it finds firmer ground or gets completly mired. Unforuntely, when you get stuck, you are really stuck...

I have operated both types of tractors, and I'll swear by the MFWD. Both of my big tractors are MFWD and they can't be beat. The MFWD axle gives the tractor more flotation, more traction, more wieght, and for these reasons I would be very hesitant to go with a 2 wheel drive...
