Quoted: Why is everyone big on 4 wheel atv's? More stuff to break on them .

I own two 4wd quads and have been riding for 5 years and have not broken anything on either one. A winch is a must. There is a simple trick that will keep you from breaking stuff.
If the quad doesn't move, winch it out!
You break stuff by nailing the throttle. Not only is this tuff on the engine, but if it suddenly catches traction you can snap axles, break CV joints and destroy transmissions.
and you rarely have need of one. And when you do need 4 wheel drive and get stuck, it is usually just as easy to pick up the lighter 2 wheel drive model and nudge it over the obstacle. Good ground clearance and good judgement will get you through more obstacles quicker than a beast like some of these things are getting to be.

Depends on where you ride. Where we go you will be "Picking up" and "Nudging" your quad more than you will be riding it, not much fun. If your pulling something, 4wd will be a huge help on soft ground. It's also big help on hill climbs as the added traction lets you go up the hill slower and the extra wieght in the front helps prevent flippng.
And never underestimate the testosterone factor of a 4wd
