Overview
This is a 54-year John Deere owner explaining why he switched brands, not a spec-sheet walkaround. He compares his new Yanmar YT359C directly against John Deere's 4052R/4066R on price ($48,673 out-the-door), lift capacity, PTO horsepower, weight, wheelbase, hydraulic flow, and warranty (10-year vs 3-5 year), and details his added options. Best for cross-shoppers weighing Yanmar against John Deere on real numbers rather than first-impression footage.
Posted by an individual longtime John Deere owner giving a personal, opinionated comparison after buying a Yanmar, so expect owner bias favoring his new purchase.
