I wouldn't even consider a loader without 4x4

Wtf. Not having four wheel drive does not make a loader useless. Not even close. Unless you're habitually doing stuff in the mud (like putting out hay), 4wd is hardly ever needed.

A loader is by a longggggggggg ways a more useful option than 4wd. Most people are going to choose one or the other. They typically cost close to the same and will add up to 50% of the base price of the tractor if you get both. They're definitely great to have, but if you only get one, get the loader.
