Overview
This is a real-world work video, not a review: the owner hauls loads of free rocky mud/cobble in a ballast box behind his 4066R to reinforce an eroding stream crossing on his property. It covers practical loaded-tractor details like tire pressure adjustments (25 to 40 PSI), rear ballast weight (600 lb plus box), range selection, and loader lifting behavior under heavy loads. Useful for owners curious about real ballast and traction handling under load.
Appears to be an owner-operator using his own 4066R for property work and sharing unscripted, hands-on footage.
