Caterpillar 289D3 Vs John Deere 4066R
Overview
An owner-operator pros-and-cons comparison focused specifically on mowing duty, not the tractors themselves. The creator walks through both machines fitted with 72-inch brush hog decks, covering visibility, slope stability, ground disturbance, cut quality, and deck construction differences. Real-world observations from actual use, back-dragging technique, blade wear, radiator clogging, make it useful for anyone weighing a skid steer versus a compact tractor for brush mowing.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from working both machines on their own properties, signing off with 'Aloha,' suggesting a Hawaii-based operation.
