Overview
This is an owner's hands-on demo of the John Deere 4066R's H180 loader with 4-in-1 bucket, focused specifically on grapple-clamping a 150-200 lb railroad tie. It explains the extra joystick control wiring for the 4-in-1 function, shows the loader's leveling indicator rod for gauging bucket position from the cab, and cites the bucket's 2200 lb rating. Useful for buyers curious about 4-in-1 grapple controls and real load handling.
