I bought a JD 3600 4x18 on land plow from a neighbor who was selling it because his JD 3020's 60-70hp 2wd were not enough tractor slipping was real high. My tractor is a MFWD Zetor loader/cab 62hp. My tractor is a little heavier at 10K lbs and less power but I can easily pull that plow uphill & down even some sidehill where 2wd would not work at all.

Last week I had my pu stuck in snow behing the barn, I thought a load of firewood would fix the traction but didn't. I picked up the rear of the loaded pu & turned it around. A 2wd would have sat there as the tractor rears were likely in the air but the front wheels didn't slip!
