Stefano Narducci· May 2023
✦
Overview
This is a snow-plow-business owner comparing his own fleet of John Deere 4066Rs against Kubota L6060s, not a spec-sheet review. He covers speed, front weight capacity, toolbox setup, three-point hitch pins, hydraulic couplers, cab windows (heated rear, corner windows), and loader control ergonomics, drawing on real operating hours and breakage issues. He ultimately favors the Kubota. Best for snow-removal operators choosing a plow tractor, not general buyers.
Posted by an owner-operator running both brands in a commercial snow business, giving a hands-on but openly opinionated comparison favoring Kubota.
