Operation55–65 hpJohn Deere 4066R

Overview

An owner-operator's real-time walkthrough of prepping and planting a winter food plot using a John Deere 4066R with a disc. It covers two-pass discing, adjusting disc angle for finish work, using the three-point hitch depth-limiter knob, broadcasting a five-way oat blend, and lightly covering seed without a roller packer. Practical and candid about improvised decisions. Best for deer hunters or rural landowners curious about food-plot workflow with a compact utility tractor.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own rural property, with a lifestyle channel that also covers homebuilding and hunting.
