[QUOTE="Boll Weevil, post: 3267559, member: 10006"] An awful lot has to do with the tractor's gross weight as well...some of those old tractors were HEAVY when considering the horsepower to weight ratio. Likewise, typically a 4wd is somewhat heavier than a 2wd. This translates into usable traction. Size not withstanding (width, height, maneuverability) I always recommend buy as much as you can comfortably afford and don't forget implements cost. I use our little tractor (65hp 4wd) for things like working plots, maintaining roads, moving round bales, and tight quarters mowing...it's perfect. A bigger machine just isn't as nimble and can mean wasting resources (fuel, time, money). That being said, my guess is that if you've been getting by all these years with 45-50 in a 2wd you'll be perfectly satisfied with a like-sized 4wd. Good luck...buying a new tractor is exciting stuff!! [/QUOTE]
