My IH 886 pulls the 15 foot batwing just fine. It will make it grunt if it gets into heavy stuff. I use it to feed and don't find situations where I need FWA although I do use the tractor with it on occasion because a two wheel drive tractor will make ruts like crazy in wet weather. The front end is just heavy on those narrower tires. Other than that I don't use a FWA tractor for chores. An 886 is around a 90 horse tractor. I kind of ended up with a Cadillac with only 3000 hours from the original owner. I wasn't looking for one that nice, but I went a little over my budget when I found one that didn't have any welds, leaks, or cab needs. It has been bulletproof, but I grew up with IH and knew it would be.
In the summer I rake with it. This last summer I was contracted to mow a piece I had never been on before. In most places it was so steep I had to brace myself against the windows to stay in the seat. Stability is in the weights you use and the setting of the tire width. A FWA tractor set too narrow isn't any more stable than a two wheel drive model.
As someone who farms with only green tractors (the 886 only fertilizes and hays), I will tell you to get JD out of your mind. A nice 4040 would be the cats meow for you, but would run you double your budget. They make a product just as quality as the others, but they hold their value like no other. Their parts seem to be about in sync with others now that everyone else has gotten stupid with their pricing, too. They just have value the others don't hold.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
