    6x4 works IF you are talking both back axels drive....the absolute pits on any sort of uneven ground is a 6x2 eg lazy rear axel...you can literally get stuck going over a curb.....
    the big advantage of fronts driving is steerage in any thing less than ideal-muddy as shit.
    a longer truck thats 6x4 will keep going really well in full difflock but wont steer.... if you can lock between dif and cross lock rear you have to spin 3 to be stuck...pretty good at that...ultimate is full difflock so all 4 turn together.
    9ton payload....most two axel fert sowers have payload of 6 ton....chuck that 3rd axel in and you be good to go...ISUZUs are cheap..but hard riding and rather tall,lots of ground clearance...difflocks not standard....
    scania costs a bomb but are plurry nice trucks all around. super singles on front axel make softer ride and arguably less sinky...but choose tyre rim size wisely or you will be stuck with retreads or bus tyres which are piss poor steerage wise in anything greasy.
