John Deere 4066R - 7 years and 700 hours

This is a long-term owner update, not a first-look review: the owner has 727 hours over 7 years on his 4066R and talks through real issues like a stuck passive DPF regen, soot percentages, low-RPM usage patterns, the rear downforce kit, top-and-tilt hydraulics, and known annoyances (oil dipstick location, rear wiper). Best for prospective buyers wanting genuine reliability and ownership-cost insight rather than a walkaround or spec rundown.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on, multi-year impressions from his own property and workload.
