Have owned several 4X4s over the years but I'm not farming anymore and have never felt the need of having one now. Our 3500 dually goes where we want/need to go, which is never on ice, mud or snow. We have stayed longer than planned several times to let the roads clear, but I have driven on slick surfaces enough to know that a 4X4 is not the answer when towing a 15,000 lb rig. It doesn't stop any better than any other. As my dad used to say, a 4 wheel drive just lets you go to a whole lot worse place to get stuck.
