Overview
An owner-operator shares honest impressions after roughly 200 hours on a John Deere 4066R, listing ten specific likes and gripes from real use: poor forward visibility with pallet forks, no door prop piston, a broken air-ride seat wire, DPF regen frequency tied to low-RPM loader work, cab entry challenges for tall operators, and genuine praise for cab quietness and chassis stability. Most useful for buyers weighing the 4066R cab model for loader-heavy work.
Good Works Tractors is a dealer/attachment-seller channel, so while the hands-on observations feel genuine, the host has a commercial interest in tractors and accessories he mentions throughout.
