I bought a 2WD JD 5303 this summer, brand new. Wonderful tractor - Since I would be using it mostly for my haying operation, I went with more PTO horsepower vs. 4WD. If I had had $4000 extra, I would have got the 4WD version.
I see that when doing loader work, it would be nice to have 4WD, but this tractor also has a lockable rear differential, and that helps a lot.
Little story: The one farm I make hay on is owned by a guy who only comes down on weekends. He never owned a tractor, but this smmer, he got a good used HUGE Kubota with 4WD. The day after he got it, here he comes to me (I"m baling in the field with my Farmall 460) to ask if my son (18 years old) can bring the JD to pull him out of the swamp he was stuck in! He was sunk to the frame. So yes, 4WD can help you go places you should never go!
By the way, the guy paid my son $250 for helping him for an hour. Two hundred and fifty dollars! I told my son this was "hush money" so he wouldn"t tell anyone how this guy got stuck! Some people have too much money.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
