| We're on our second machine with 4 wheel drive. Never thought we needed it. Both bought used. When we traded for the second one we looked for one with 4wd (and it had duals). We run it turned on all the time in the field- wet or dry. We were told it takes some pressure off the hydro therefore prolonging the hydro's life. The hydro sure whines less with it on. We are also in central Kansas and the black dirt gets real greasy when it's wet. If needed, we can cut in muddy conditions and keep the combine moving in a straight line without using brakes like we used to have to do. It don't take much rain here to keep 2wd machines in the yard. If you run a 4wd very long you won't want to go back to 2wd.

How important is 4wd on a combine?
