I just purchased a JD 4066R myself for snow removal work, I added the exterior review mirrors that help tremendously for seeing behind yourself, and a beacon light so I am more visible. I have the 5th hydraulic running to the front with a power attach skid steer plate on the loader, this will make going from a bucket to a snow pusher a dream, without even leaving the cab
VERY WELL DONE. I JUST BOUGHT A 2014 MODEL, I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS TRACTOR AND THE POWER THIS TRACTOR HAS. I LOVE THE FEATURES THAT IT HAS TO MAKE IT EASY FOR A 76 YEAR.
I've had my 4066r for about 5 months. I ordered it with the skidsteer quick attach and a 72" skidsteer bucket. Glad I did because I can at least see the cutting edge of the bucket and how much I have in it. I also marked my two front attachment mounting pads at center with white paint and then marked each of my attachments off of these marks. It's impossible to see the edges of your mounts because of the loader arms and it was a hit or miss until I did this. I usually fill my tractor out of a hose but one time I was away from home and had to fill it out of a 5 gallon plastic fuel can. It really sucks where the fill cap is especially if you're short. I put some rags down on the fender and set the fuel can on them so I could reposition and fill. Bad move. The fender cracked in two places immediately. Luckily Deere covered the replacement as this is a new tractor. I found that this has been an ongoing issue with these plastic fenders and mine is a 2019 and they still haven't corrected it. I'd hate to see what a new fender would cost for this let alone the labor to install as it looks like you'd have to remove the cab.
Good idea on marking the SSQA, I noticed the same problem with not being able to see it. That fuel location is better than the hood on many of them, but I do like the lower location on the Kubota's better. Doesn't matter if it's a tractor, car, ATV, you break something and it's not a cheap repair.
Had a 4066r for one year and traded it in. Hated it. Got sick up leaning forward to rev up rpm. Went with a Kubota L6060. Huge cab and I would look back. Good luck with the tractor
That is the nicest 4066R I've ever seen!!! It is set up with virtually everything I'd ever want on a tractor!!! I'm always torn between the 3046R & the 4066R which I'd like or want more!!! 😊
Thanks Jimbo! For me, it's missing a couple options that I want, but don't think I'll spend the money on. One is the mechanical self leveling loader option, the other is the deluxe grill guard. Well, having some extra outlets on the front of the tractor would be nice too, but I can just run a hose to the rear outlets. Overall, I love it so far!
Antenna breakage is common. The original was 2 piece but when I went to replace it was 1 piece and you have to pull the cab headliner and VERY EXPENSIVE. I found an aftermarket antenna with and adapter bushing for about $10. Works great, by the way mine worked fine without the antenna.
@@GoodWorksTractors great seeing you in all these, Ive dreamed it would be great step up for me! maybe someday, for the time being Ill be cool, on my open station deere, but still very much enjoying it!
I bought a new 4050 to our cab tractor with R-1 Ah tires and, even though it came with the loader, I was going to use it for bush hogging work and didn’t need the loader, so I saved $6000 that way. I really like the update they later did to the R series with the exterior handle and the secondary step. I wish they had kept the one piece hood and the wraparound grill guard brush screen from the 4020 series, The air conditioner got clogged up from bush hogging chaff and required having the roof removed to clean out the condenser, which is an expensive and time consuming pain in the butt. I do like the tight linkages for the controls and the soft touch electronic buttons.
hey the two switches on the right side dashboard that you said is for the 4th and 5th remotes is for continuous flow so with your top and tilt kit don't press it and break your cylinders

I do like the very tight linkages and the soft touch electronics so, had I been able to keep my tractor, I would have. I don’t want something bigger than that or smaller.
As you say, you do have a "cream of the crop tractor". It is a very nice set up and I am envious! But, $5 or $6000 for a couple of rear remotes and a T&T kit is a waaaay over estimate. As an add on, remotes are roughly $250 a piece. A top line T&T kit can run as high as $1,000. A TSC store type, owner sourced, cheap T&T would run under $500. Enjoy and good luck.
Yeah, it's probably more like 4k for everything you see from JD. I forgot I don't have PB nor hard lines to the front likey old one which drove the cost higher. Sure, other ways to do it cheaper, but this is JD parts, not aftermarket.
Wow. If that was mine, I'd tag it & drive it on the street. LoL. I am quite jealous, looks like the perfect tractor with all the necessary equipment to make work enjoyable. Oh, and This is the best video you have done, good job!
Haha, I know it! Thanks Belinda. I appreciate that feedback. Sometimes I'm not sure if I should make videos much more basic or "dress them up" a little bit.
@@GoodWorksTractors hun, in my opinion, this is your best. The panning view from the operators seat is just like sitting there- great coverage. even tho I'm purple with envy, I'm really happy for you. Have fun!!
For around the yard lifting chores a small 5000# telehandler with all-wheel steering, would be the bomb. nearly 20ft vertical lift, long horizontal reach, maneuverable, 4wd, small footprint, advanced electrohydraulics, and to top it off ..... 5,000 pounds of lift. No tractor OR skidsteer can come close ....... and I'm a staunch tractor guy. You could lift entire tractors with it and set them on the roof.
Forgot to mention a great view of the fork tips, better than any tractor. Skidsteers have great views as well but still are not as good at material moving.
Is there a way to buy a 2nd bucket level indicator and mount it on the left side of the loader so you can have one set for the bucket and one set for forks? Just a random thought I had.
Could you explain the difference between the 4066m heavy duty and the 4066m ? The 4066r is only one you can get with cab package right? , Have a 1070 and is a great tractor, tks.
Is that piece on each side of the hood serving as the support for the loader instead of having the support running under the tractor like most other tractors?
TL-90 manufacture spec: 90% calcium chloride, 10% corn steep. Info from manufacture (road solutions) MSDS. corn steep should react with the calcium chloride making it non reactive, but still... hope you have tubes in, contact manufacture as MSDS may have changed since 2015. Edit, grammar error.
Does the 3 point on the 4 series have hydraulic down pressure capability in addition to the normal float? I’d think you could do some very nice grading with that feature.
Yes it did. I actually made a separate video about that as I've often seen folks searching for clearance information. I'll get that video up before too long.
Poor thought on the rear wiper motor.. rear mirror is on the right side so to can look at the wiper motor?? your 3pt controls are on your right side so your always looking over your right shoulder to see behind you and there is the wiper motor.. is this not a bad designer or am I overlooking something???
I had a L6060 open station in stock for awhile about a year ago. Really loved that machine and looked at several L6060 cabs, but everything fell into place with this 4066r.
I like the Deere remote tractor / hitch operation too. But I’d rather fight with an implement a little than miss out on H-DS. Plus the IntelliPanel in the Grand L is far nicer and more comprehensive than the Deere.
How can you say the biggest and the baddest when the 4075R has got it by 9 hp,I don't understand why y'all are ignoring that tractor, raved about it for a short time and now seems like y'all have put it on the back burner. Why, if i could buy a tractor I guarantee it would be the 4075R.

hey courtney! this is my next dream tractor! very nice enjoy this winter
Hey Mike, good to hear from you. It definitely is a dream tractor man! Stay warm this winter!
@@GoodWorksTractors great seeing you in all these, Ive dreamed it would be great step up for me! maybe someday, for the time being Ill be cool, on my open station deere, but still very much enjoying it!
I would not buy a 4r if à was you. I have been drivin 5 2019 over the last month and all of them have problem
Great video and audio enjoy your new toy !
Very nice. Enjoy your newish John Deere tractor🚜👍

Gone see if I can’t contact soon and try to do some Business. Good Videos. Love the way this Model looks.
Thanks so much!

Thanks Zach! My 3046r didn't have those switches, so trying to figure it all out. I appreciate the heads up!
@@GoodWorksTractors no problem I used to work for a john deere dealer installing all different hydraulic kits and things so happy to help out

I'll be watching for future posts/videos on this gem. I've been looking for a 4066r for quite some time. Let me know if /when you decide to sell it.
I'm loving it so far! I'll either make a video and/or post it on my website whenever I decide to sell it. I'm thinking it'll be awhile though :)
Hello, did anyone find the wiper blade curved enough to see back on the new 4066r in snowy weather? Thank you for giving the # of piece
Thanks .....now I want one 😫
Have fun playing, err - I mean working with that... ;)
Sweet ride!

Now that's an idea right there. I would guess the attaching brackets could be reversed. I'll have to look into that further. Great idea!
Good Works Tractors glad I could help
I just marked mine so I know where my forks are level and it works nicely. $ saved 🙂
Could you explain the difference between the 4066m heavy duty and the 4066m ?
The 4066r is only one you can get with cab package right? ,
Have a 1070 and is a great tractor, tks.
Hi, 4m Heavy Dutu is brand new and I don't have much info on it yet. Watch Tractor Time With Tim's video on it. Looks cool. 4r only for a factory cab.
Thanks does look like a great tractor but no cab is not to good in cold places
How does the bucket level indicator attach got d170 loader wondering if it would work on mine part #?
I have the same bucket indicated feature, it doesn't work very well. You just have to trial and error it.
Can you please tell me what is the lifting capacity of the front loader? Thank you!
Is that piece on each side of the hood serving as the support for the loader instead of having the support running under the tractor like most other tractors?
good tractor... thats definitely the one i have been wanting.. that and a 1025r
Good combo 😄

How would you compare that with the New Holland Boomer 55?
Does the 3 point on the 4 series have hydraulic down pressure capability in addition to the normal float? I’d think you could do some very nice grading with that feature.
When I go to John Deere's website I can't find the 4 Series? Why?
How do you disengage 4wd? Currently trying to figure it out.
What size snow pusher would you recommend?
I know this is an old video, but it looks like it barely cleared your roll-up door. What height was the door at your old shop?
Yeah, it does barely clear. I measure in a video, but can't recall which one. I believe the door is 94.5", just barely squeaks under
Sweet!!
Is this 4066r for sale or do you still have it
Very nice tractor. Pricey, but the old saying.....get what you pay for.
Agreed.
Dang, just barely cleared the overhead door.
Yes it did. I actually made a separate video about that as I've often seen folks searching for clearance information. I'll get that video up before too long.
Does it have a Horn? I could see having communication issues ? ( BTW) Grats on your Holy Grail !)
Lol, I don't think I saw a horn. Will have to improve my hand signals I suppose :)
.....BAM #1
Atta boy
Nice work Mark!
👍
Hows the new tractor ??
Poor thought on the rear wiper motor.. rear mirror is on the right side so to can look at the wiper motor?? your 3pt controls are on your right side so your always looking over your right shoulder to see behind you and there is the wiper motor.. is this not a bad designer or am I overlooking something???
I have yet to have a visual issue
What will you ask for this tractor wene you sell it
For sale now. www.goodworkstractors.com/product/john-deere-4066r-4wd-66hp-tractor-factory-cab-loader-for-sale/
Seems to me the Kubota Grand L is a nicer tractor, although it lacks a few features but also has some this JD lacks.
I had a L6060 open station in stock for awhile about a year ago. Really loved that machine and looked at several L6060 cabs, but everything fell into place with this 4066r.

That's an old video cause he's forgetting the 4075 which i believe has em all beat!
If only it had a self leveling loader
Dang, now I'm worried it might be too big for someone like me. I'm 5'8"
I wouldn't be worried. Seat slides forward.
Maybe a forklift would suit your needs.
Thought about that, but wanted an all-in-one machine.
Don’t switch to a skid steer. Tractors and better and more sexy
If you want to spend 50+ thousand on a compact go green.
Hard to argue with that 😄
Get a bigger trailer, need a bigger tractor.
Funny how that works.
How can you say the biggest and the baddest when the 4075R has got it by 9 hp,I don't understand why y'all are ignoring that tractor, raved about it for a short time and now seems like y'all have put it on the back burner. Why, if i could buy a tractor I guarantee it would be the 4075R.
Pretty simple. The 4075r didn’t exist when this video came out.
