#55 Working the new trail, John Deere 4066R

[@stevegermain1222]

Too much fun playing in the woods and creating things is the best time ever

[@TKCL]

Yes it is!

[@inthewilderness2023]

It looks a lot better than when you started

[@gaylewatkins4685]

I must comment on your filming. 🙂 Your videos are so smooth. Even when going over rough terrain your shots are extremely smooth. So nice to watch.

[@TKCL]

Thank you, I've invested in cameras that really work well with stabilization.

[@mr.gtmsworld2494]

I am amazed at how well this tractor handles without any weight on the back! I test drove one at the John Deere front lawn and it felt light in the rear. I have a jd 3520 and I would have to have my box blade on the rear to do that stuff.

[@TKCL]

My rear tires are loaded adding a lot of weight and so does the cab. The one you test drove might not of had ballast in the tires. I had a 3720 before this one and there is definitely a difference in stability.

[@sandhillfarms7754]

I love tackling projects like that with my tractor 😀

[@TKCL]

Oh yeah, love some seat time.

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

Man you're braver than me, biggest thing that keeps me from getting a cab tractor is working in the woods, here in north fl/ south Ga we are very heavily wooded in these swamps, I would have broken glass once month 🤦😩 looks kinda similar to the area you're working in. Pretty thick for the most part. but man I want a cab. That is so much more enjoyable than the heat humidity dust and mosquitoes

[@TKCL]

I'm in north Florida, just prune out your trails. I'll never go back to just a open station unless it's my second tractor.

[@kevinsmiley1783]

How did you decide on the jd 4066 versus their other tractors?

[@TKCL]

A lot of research, and my father had a jd 4052 that impressed me on how strong it was. I just knew that I wanted all the pto hp I could get due to mowing thick field grass. Never heard anyone say they had too much HP!

[@stevegermain1222]

I forgot Greenville South Carolina

4052r with 440 boom and bucket

[@blyz_69]

You must have disconnected your back up beeper. I need to do that, so annoying. Great work man, I wish I had some timber and trails

[@TKCL]

Thanks man! Yes that beeper was the first thing to go!

[@blyz_69]

@@TKCL do you just need to disconnect one wire to do that or is there something specific so it doesn't throw an error code?

[@TKCL]

@BKB Aviation I just simply unplugged the little beeper back there, and it did not throw an error code for me. It's underneath that same piece of metal that the three point raise and lower knob on the back of the tractor is mounted to

[@bertpritchett317]

nice tractor.. I have a 3046R with the cab and same tires as you. My tractor feels tipsy on small hills. If I run over a rock say 6 inches tall it feels like it wants to tip. Other than that the tractor is strong. I am thinking of moving up to the 4 series looks like the rear tires are wider apart. Thanks and good work Spotsylvania VA.

[@TKCL]

I came from a 3 series and yes this tractor is wider and more stable. Have you tried wheel spacers on yours? A lot of people put those on the 3 series and 4 series Tractors. It's still a compact and could be tipped, but my 4 series does feel noticeably more stable.

[@bertpritchett317]

@@TKCL thanks for replying I checked on wheel spacers John Deere doesn't recommend them because of the type of axes on the 3 series. So I was concerned with voiding the warranty. Thanks for your input.

[@WhoDat-cc8zo]

Deere looks good in the woods! Your hard work is paying off. It's nice to walk around and look at your own work. My mother-in-law lives in Clermont, FL and my brother-in-law lives in Minneola, FL. I recall Minneola to be somewhat hilly for FL. You close to those areas? We also vacation in FT. Walton twice a year, every year. See ya on the next one.

[@TKCL]

I'm not familiar with those areas. Most of west Florida is hilly and a small section in the central section of the state. I'm enjoying the trail build, it's going to be bitter sweet when it's done.

[@thomasfaucette1446]

thats a badass green n yellow u got this is john deere from quitman ga

[@TKCL]

Thank you, I've been really enjoying that tractor. I bought this one in Tallahassee Florida

[@gatorb4161]

Looking good!

[@TKCL]

Thanks!

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

Great video by the way!

[@TKCL]

Thanks!

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

WOW you have a lot of land!!!!!!

[@TKCL]

I have a decent amount, wish I had a lot more. Feel blessed to have what I do though. Been dreaming about owning a nice piece of land since I was 13. Saved up and looked for years before we found this place.

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

The Kelley's Country Life you clearly worked hard to get it, hats off to you mate! Now you need an MS 500i to look after the property haha don’t google it or you’ll want one 😂

[@TKCL]

@@spooncarvingwithtom lol, I think I've already watched every video on KZbin of that 500i. Very impressive saw, however the 462CM is my dream saw.

[@spooncarvingwithtom]

The Kelley's Country Life oh really haha same I have seen them all! Ah how interesting, why is your dream Saw the 462?!

[@TKCL]

@@spooncarvingwithtom Awesome power to weight ratio and I've always been a big fan of the 460/461 models over the years. The 500i is a sweet saw though. All of them are out of my price range sadly

[@harryellingsworth8302]

It takes time, work in progress, but if you enjoy it take your time, see you next time from Dixie Co., Florida

[@TKCL]

I'm thoroughly enjoying it and must admit that when it's over I'll miss the building process. I use to live in the next county over from yours.

[@zackmccall2764]

How is your loader booms holding out I've got the same thing you do I need to see your booms as you scrape and dig I feel like I'm beating my arms up I'm from idaho

[@TKCL]

Everything is holding up perfectly fine, over 2 years old and 500 hours of service.

[@WayneHarris]

Nice video. Still happy with your tractor? Thinking of upgrading little Kioti DK4510. Struggling with the Deere $$$.

[@TKCL]

Love my tractor, the most powerful compact made. Watch my review video where I'm very honest about the machine. It does not have everything I expect, but the power and reliability have me sold. My last deere was 13 years old and bullet proof. If you need the review video link, let me know.

[@bryansteen2219]

You need that 485 backhoe would be great for back weight also. Wish I could have all your toys.🙂 Who built your storage building? Nice!

[@TKCL]

Oh I've looked at them, my wife would kill me 😀. I definitely have a nice collection of toys, has taken many years and many hours of overtime at work to accumulate everything. My pole barn was built by a guy in Crawfordville FL and I bought the building as a kit from a company in Tallahassee. My other building was bought and assembled by Keens portable buildings.

[@haroldboston5080]

Nice job . How many acres you have to work with.

[@TKCL]

I have a little over 51 acres. Thanks for watching!

[@jakecrane3690]

Is yours hydrostatic or power reverser

[@TKCL]

Hydro

[@kennthtreadway3504]

Liked the vidos.kenneth from peytona wv

[@TKCL]

Appreciate you watching Kenneth!

[@pauldrake2170]

2 years.....how far you have come

[@TKCL]

You are correct, it's been a busy couple of years with a lot of progress.

Smithfield, NC

[@stevenkeith676]

Enjoyed your video

[@TKCL]

I'm seeing a lot of people from NC, thanks for watching!

[@marksleeper9385]

Hi have you had problems with your loader

[@TKCL]

None, using it right now to spread out top soil.

[@marksleeper9385]

@@TKCL I have the 4052R thanks for the reply

[@rgd2598]

Definitely enjoying your videos. Thanks for taking time to share your fun..... but it’s not helping my tractor lust . I gotta get some more jobs coming in. Hey.... if I borrowed some money from you and Set up a go fund me? Lol

[@TKCL]

Sorry can't help you with your tractor addiction lol. Thanks for watching, I'm having a great time making these videos and sharing my journey.

[@rgd2598]

I’m setting in my blind, deer hunting here in east Texas , and watching you . At least I can tell my wife I saw a Deere this eve. Lol.

[@TKCL]

@@rgd2598 no doubt, best of luck with your hunting. I'm off in a couple of days and plan on hunting myself.
