Overview
An owner-operator's candid verbal review after roughly 1.5 years and 265 hours on a 2018 John Deere 4066R on a 50-acre property. Covers why he chose 66 hp (PTO demand for large mowers), more cons than pros, hitch-assist operation, loader quick-disconnect, cab features, and small gripes like two-speaker audio and no Bluetooth. No in-video work footage, just talking. Best for serious JD 4-Series shoppers wanting an unsponsored owner perspective.
An owner-operator sharing personal impressions from working a 50-acre rural property, with no commercial affiliation mentioned.
