JOHN DEERE 4066R VS KUBOTA L6060 TRACTOR COMPARISON 🚜👨‍🌾

WANT TO SUPPORT GOOD WORKS TRACTORS? CHECK OUT THE LINKS BELOW!
Today we compare a Kubota L6060 to a John Deere 4066R (well to my 4066R to be precise). This will be a general comparison and if I can say so, a fair one. I do own and love the 4066r, but it was a tough decision for me as I considered the L6060 as well. We'll cover things like lift capacity (front and rear), dimensions, and available options. In case you're wondering, these are the largest compact tractors on the market today. The Kubota Grand L Series vs The John Deere 4r Series. Either way you go, you're coming out a winner. Both are fantastic machines.
If you're considering a top end compact tractor, or if you just want to stare at a couple of beautiful machines, check out today's video.

What do you think about the new Holland made by Ford?

[@josephwyse265]

Thank you for the excellent comparison. I love your evaluations, suggestions, and content on your station. I own a Kubota Grand L6060 with a factory cab and love it. It was purchased in 2018 and have 200 hours on it. I bought it with the 0% 5-year financing option. When you use the financing they force you to get an insurance policy on the tractor. We were lucky we did since this past summer we pushed down a tree and it snapped off...as we backed up the stump flipped up, sheared off the hydraulic filters, and caused $2000 worth of damage. Fortunately, the policy covered everything including the 25 mile travel expense too/from the dealer. Kubota has been excellent to work with. We looked hard at JD and basically chose the dealer that we were most comfortable with. The only thing we would do differently would be to get front and rear hydraulic remotes when purchasing the tractor. We ended up adding front remotes but it was more costly as an add on later. The size of the tractor has been perfect for our 160 acre tree farm in souther Wisconsin.

Fantastic, real-world comparison information. Always a good watch with a bit of fun always included which is appreciated! Keep the videos coming please!!!

[@toddrabideau5576]

A proper comparison. No bashing, just highlighting features and differences. I like and appreciate your style. More then happy with my Kubota, but that 4066r is a pretty nice tractor I’ll say that. HAPPY NEW YEAR’S GWT!

[@duanemorrison6173]

Excellent video. I wanted a Deere but didn't have a dealership near me that I liked. I opted for the L6060. I got my first cabbed tractor and am enjoying the protection of a cab. I bought almost every option on it at the time of purchase and haven't regretted it. I moved up to a larger tractor from a 33hp open cab tractor. Love the power and comfort of the Kubota. I'm sure these are both well built tractors. Like many have posted, dealership is an important consideration in buying a piece of equipment. After 125 hours without any problems, I'm happy with the L6060 and plan on getting many years of service out to it.

[@hezmannh]

Thank you for all the great information and upbeat videos. After lots of consideration, I decided to retire my 24 year old New Holland 1530. It has been a great machine and will continue to be used by my son-in-law. I just took delivery on a new JD 4044R with extras including a grapple system, extra SCV's and wheel extenders. I'll be looking to add some accessories later, so keep the info coming/thanks again

[@TM-xg3tl]

Fantastic tractor videos! Very helpful. One big detail I would point out having used a 4066 and owning several Kubota L6060's is the hydraulic response times. Time is money if you're using your machine commercially and the Kubota hydraulics are much faster and more responsive than the John Deere. A HUGE consideration if you're moving a lot of material with the loader or implements.

[@grubbb]

Enjoyed the video, and the humour! I've been looking for an over all height of the 4066R, and you provided it! Thank you! (I built my garage with a 9' door, so looks like I'll be good-to-go). While it was a great comparative video, I really like the green paint! ;) Thanks again for the video.

[@danielniquette5187]

So I guess it comes down to the dealer you prefer to do business with. I own a L3540 HST ROPS (previous series from the L60, with the same transmission) since 2008, and I love this machine. It has 3000 hours on it and never had any major problem on it. I choose Kubota mainly because the dealership is 5 minutes from my home. Both tractors are excellent choices.

[@MrChristopoop]

I first found this channel in January of 2018. Courtney was never in front of the camera at the time it seemed, and most videos were overviews of models he had acquired to sell. At the time the way the video and editing were done, I assumed he was the main salesman/spokesperson for Good Works Tractors. I was off the mark a bit thinking this was the used side of a large dealership. The videos were informative and have gotten much better along the way, though I finally ended purchasing subcompact TLB, I still come to watch to see what I can learn or see if there are any new toys I would like to purchase. Hoping for a snow pusher next season.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Very cool, thanks for sticking with me all this time. Happy New Year!

[@mharrye]

Not sure if someone else mentioned it but the L6060 has category 2 3 point vs category 1 on the JD. Possibly a reason the L6060 has higher lift capacity. SAE standard is Cat 2 for 50 HP and larger tractor. Kubota lists it as Cat 1-2 as it will fit Cat 1 attachments with bushings - Cat 1 is narrower. Important to me because I have larger Cat 2 and Cat 3 tractors and I can mix a couple Cat 2 attachments (bale spear, rotary cutter).

[@timaustin8230]

Great info

[@belindakt]

Excellent comparison, Courtney. Believe either would be a satisfactory purchase, it would probably come down to the dealership. Anytime you have at least 2 moving parts, eventually something will break. Not everyone is set up to do repairs, so the dealership is important for this reason. I'm old, and I grew up with jubilee ford's & Deeres before Kubota apparently existed. Therefore, I'm partial to John Deere. And Courtney, I still say I would tag that Deere & drive it on the street! LOLOL

[@CliffsideStables]

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks so much!

[@radroofer]

Lol love the inlaw joke. Mine was part of the plan to destroy me. Sorry but I woke up so they will be ex.

[@archibaldhaddock5538]

Both great machines. Was not aware the Deere had a function that linked foot pedal application with engine revs - this is not evident in their literature and was not mentioned to me when I tried the machine. In my case the excellent Kubota dealer response sealed the deal for an L6060. When I went to the local Deere dealer they would barely give me the time of day.

[@Surferjo]

ty learned a lot

[@TelescopeJunky]

What a comparison. So similar with minuses and plusses for both. Cant go wrong with either, it is probably best just to own both I think. 😁😂 Heehee! Love is Master C!

[@FloridaDeere]

Great video, I think you're being pretty fair here Courtney.

[@tomoaktree4951]

Hi Courtney, I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and wishing all of you a Happy New Year! I have several comments. The Deere has planetary gearing for the rear axle, not sure if the Kubota is this way. Planetary gearing is better and more durable on larger machines. The Kubota has twin external rams for the three point which the Deere's is integrated into the rear end housing. Twin rams are used on almost all larger farm tractors. Both are good, but I prefer the Kubota approach. I have always hated the Kubota treadle pedal, however but L6060 seems a much more welcome approach. Finally, I really like the 6 range option on the Kubota!!

[@DeereGuy211]

The Kubota uses a bull gear on the rear end. The planetary is by far superior when it comes to longevity.

[@brianhillis3701]

Liked the tool box option on the front of the John deer. Always need space for shear pins, hose clamps, zip ties, rubber mallet, wrenches, folding limb saw, etc. I think you left out hydraulic flow which is real important for some equipment. The huge difference is the width the JD means lots of attachments will be 7 ft while the Kubota may give less than desireable results with much cheaper 6 foot equipment.

[@rickmoulton4005]

Great comparison. I've had both tractors over the years currently have the Deere 1025R and the 4066R. Absolutely have no complaints. Keep up the videos

[@jerrinator]

Hi Rick! What different uses do you have for the 1025 vs 4066?

[@rickmoulton4005]

@@jerrinator the 1025 I use primarily in areas that I basically need a smaller tractor. I have a front bucket and back hoe for it. The 4066 I use 60 to 70% off the time to help with snow removal at the school district where I work as facilities director. I have a front bucket , 7’ hydraulic angle plow blade. A snow pusher box and a front mount 6’ two stage snow thrower. I also have a set of pallet forks for both the 1025 and the 4066. All come in very handy. I also have a 3 point hitch hydraulic wood chipper for the back of the 4066

[@Sam-pw8zh]

I need more snow removal equipment. I would like to know top speed. And what is the largest snow box ? Love your vids thx

[@K31011]

Both are great really comes down to which color you like and of course dealer if that matters.

[@briangc1972]

The slide brackets on the 3 point hitch are a huge advantage. Makes hook ups a breeze even for inexperienced operators.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yes, nice feature.

[@advancedwifinetworks]

Just to clarify a few things you said the the video: 1) Kubota has an l4760, an l5460, and an l6060 in the upper models of the 60 series tractors from 2015 on. 2) Factory kubota 3rd function kit is all full on 3rd function kit that can operate all 3: up/down , tilt/curl, and 3rd fuction valves all at a single time. 3) Kubota l5460 & l6060 have a cat2 3pt hitch, not cat1 (some came with cat 2 lowers and cat 1 top link) adjustable lower link arms are factory. 4) When you measured the 3 pt lift height of the l6060, you can see that the lift arms have another position they can be adjusted to for more lift height, so it will lift higher then 27". On my l5460 full height to center is approx 31.5"! 5) Thanks for all the videos and info you put out on youtube, happy new year!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

From what Kubota's website states and their spec sheet shows as far as wheelbase and width, the L4060, L4760, L5060, L5460, and L6060 all match up or at least within a fraction of an inch. Weights gradually increase with every model. Loader models appear to all be the same for all models. The Kubota L3560 is significantly smaller. www.kubotausa.com/docs/default-source/spec-sheets/l60_specs.pdf?sfvrsn=499309ad_2 You still have the option to turn it (3rd function) on and off if this Kubota has the factory option which would be strange if this wasn't the factory option, although I can't verify. Again, referring to Kubota's website, the L6060 has cat 1/cat 2 on the 3 point hitch. Good to know on the lift height, I found it strange it wouldn't go higher but overlooked another adjustment. Thanks for pointing that out. We even discussed why it was so low off camera and still didn't notice. Happy New Year!

[@TheHarbin22]

I really like my Kubota, minus the big treadle pedal. If they were all like the Grand L pedal, they would be great

[@RockhillfarmYT]

One thing you didn’t compare in this video was how much green paint each tractor has. I find that to be a big determining factor when I go to buy

[@josephsierra7295]

Both superb machines. I'd favor the cab...LOL!

[@MLJenkins]

Great comparison. I looked at both 4 years ago and went with the L6060HSTC, due to a few things I ended up liking better including the dealer. One thing I noticed is your JD has R14. Is that something you did later, as I didn’t think JD offered the R14. As far as I know Kubota still doesn’t have an R14 option for the L60 series, but it makes me wonder if I could get them aftermarket and if they would support the load of my BH92.

[@Number6oftheBoys]

I have JD at work from 1025 to a 444. But I bought myself a L6060 HSTC with every option. The Yanmar isn't bad but I have Kubota powered Bobcats and generators with like 8000 hours. The complaint I get from the operators are that the JD compacts are too lightweight when it comes to loader work. So ballast and something heavy on the 3 point is a must. But for the money you just get a little bit more with the L60s. Little bit more beef in cylinder diameter and pins. As you said a little bit more reach and such. You touched on the backhoe. The BH92 is beefy and subframe mounted. The only gripe about the L6060 is the halogen worklights and lack of toolbox. The JD is pretty nice but you just get a little bit more with the Kubota.

[@radroofer]

Great comparison and I love the fact you bought the American tractor.

[@radroofer]

@Bigmanbam44 I know and Kubota is a name that is almost to expensive. I could almost guarantee the deere is less in price and why this guy bought it twice and has to save enough to justify buying the Kubota tractor and the same thing in the Ford made New Holland is half the price of the Kubota for the same thing.

[@davereynolds7070]

Thank you for the information, ive owned equipment from both manufacturers

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Very welcome!

[@realfreedom5029]

@Good Works Tractors I have a small homestead with about 25 acres of pasture, a pond, and some wooded areas. We plan on having some cattle & 1 donkey, we already have chickens and will expand for meat chickens. What tractor of the JD and Kubota would you recommend? Also what are your thoughts on TYM tractors? Thanks so much, your expertise is valuable to our decision. We have looked at the JD 4066R w/Cab, beautiful tractor but pricey @ 46k, and we’ve looked at the MX5400 w/Cab Kubota which includes front loader & bush hog @ 43k.

[@christopherhughes7970]

We recently purchased 60 acres of mostly old pasture with young growth trees covering most of it. Went to the dealer near me and the L6060 is what they’re recommending for my needs ( grading, digging, clearing, basically building a farm from scratch). They said the MX would also be suitable for my needs but it doesn’t have the mid PTO. Considering we live somewhere that gets a lot of snow the idea of a front mounted snow blower is very appealing. Any other models/brands I should consider?

[@Wolfiecolada]

i really like that green one, my birthday is soon. hint hint. =)

[@scottdoll483]

Did you add the tool Box? did you build a bracket for the box?

[@archibaldhaddock5538]

Forgot to add that the factory front hitch and snowblower option on the Kubota was also crucial. With a nearly 300 yard long laneway I am not craning my neck for a rear blower....

[@tompaj6961]

get a camera, with rear blower you have still attached front loader all the time...

[@kn-df6cr]

omg that jd tool box!

[@bigsway4414]

I looked really hard at all brands of tractors before I bought either of my two new John Deere’s. I don’t think anybody makes a better tractor than John Deere. But John Deere does not offer a recirculating function on their air-conditioning. So you’re always pulling air from outside the cab. That would probably be a deal breaker if I could ever afford one of those high end tractors. The Kubota does offer this and their cabs are bigger...

[@bradmeacham6982]

The Kubota L6060 3PH comes standard with the telescoping draft links. They are optional on the Deere 4066 -but should be standard IMHO. That said, if you're using a quick hitch, the telescoping draft links become moot, unless you're forced to NOT use the quick hitch for some reason. Also, the current L6060's 3PH is listed as CAT I & II. I'm assuming the balls in the draft links can be turned to support CAT I or CAT II pins. I believe older L6060's have CAT II 3PH (yours?).

[@Number6oftheBoys]

My neighbors MF, the 3pt balls rotate cat 1 to cat 2. My L6060, they have sleeves.

[@VERMrunner]

Dude the steel tool box on the front of 4066r, I want on my 5075e is the a John Deere mounting package for that?

[@GREGAD21]

What Bracket and Toolbox do you have mounted on the front of the 4066R?? My Dealer stated that the loader would hit the toolbox. Any suggestions??????

[@PeterHonig.]

I noticed that you listed the weight of the 4066R as 4675 lbs, which is correct for the tractor alone. However, if you consider the tractor with the loader, it is quite a bit more. Namely: 4675 (tractor alone) + 666 (MSL loader frame) + 321 (73" heavy duty materials bucket) + 1406 (ballasted rear tires with 61 gal Calcium Chloride solution per tire) = TOTAL weight of 7068 lbs. Sorry, I have no information on the Kubota.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Correct. There's probably hundreds of pieces of comparative data that I left out.

[@chrisspence3216]

Gotta have a cab L6060

[@bradmeacham6982]

As far as I can tell, Kubota does not (yet) offer an MSL option for their LA1055 FEL on the L6060. The do offer a "Hydraulic Spill Guard" option . As verified by calling a Kubota dealer, this is a special hydraulic valve that hydraulically "dumps" the loader's bucket as the booms are raised to maintain the bucket's preset position relative to the ground -thus keeping you from spilling material out the back of the bucket. However, the valve does not do anything as the booms are lowered. In other words, this is an "up only" self leveling option. It's also more expensive than the MSL option on the Deere's 6066 FEL.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah that spillguard is kind of strange

[@debow567]

Does the 4044r have that button to increase the rpm to operate the bucket?

[@AmsDealer70]

What’s the difference in fuel consumption? Generally, the one tuned for performance lacks fuel mileage.

[@earlepierce4323]

More importantly - (and I know this ain't a fashion channel) - what coat/jacket do you have? Is that a Filson?

[@michaelmaines6006]

Great comparison I was concerned about the fender height of the john deere which is a bit closer to the tire , I need to run chains in the winter to snow blow my drive , I have a very aggressive forest track set of chains which sets on top of the tread I don't think they would clear the fenders . Is there a fender height adjustment available on the john deere 6060 model ? And how do you like the traction of your snow tires you run on your 6060 ?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Love the traction now that I've been able to use them in the snow and ice. Way better than R4s. Not sure about a fender height adjustment though.

[@tompaj6961]

what is access to oil drain plug?, I have b series kubota with terrible location of drain plug, those small things affect serviceability...

[@Scott-cu4ol]

so you can’t get a front mounted snowblower on the Deere? i’m actually looking at this model 😢

[@kevinstallman519]

Have you gotten enough snow to make a reasonable comparison of your r14 tires? We got 10 inches in Iowa and love the r14 tires on snow with my hla 1800 pusher.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Nope, we've had hardly more than an inch or two a couple of times. Not really even worth plowing as there's always warm days in the forecast after that to melt it away.

[@claytonhillier9496]

The quick attach plate on the Kubota looks more heavy duty which might take away some lift capacity

[@linnjensen7469]

How do they compare in price

[@urbanstd1]

I thought it was a fair unbiased review. A couple of things to mention. You mentioned the JD is turbo charged, but did not mention that the 6060 is also turbocharged. The 3 point lift height on the Kubota can be adjusted to raise much higher by changing the bolt location on the left lift arm. I would be curious about the axle housing size of the two machines. Which company offers the longest warranty? I was not happy that Kubota warranty will not outlast my payments. I looked at the self leveling feature for the Kubota bucket but it was a $3K option and I had already spent way to much $$. The 3pt lift arms shown in the video are a standard feature on the Grand L 60 series tractors. As a side note, those arms can be retro fitted to non-Grand series Kubotas. It cost my Father in-law about $400 to convert his MX5000 to the new arms. Some observations I have based on 22 hrs of use on my 4760. My air ride seat (800.00 option) on my 4760 feels like the seating position is low. I have the standard suspension seat taken off my tractor to install the air ride and it sits at the same height. At 6'3" I have a hard time seeing and connecting things to the quick attach frame. The other negative to the low seat is it is difficult to find the differential lock lever. Once found it takes a good amount of effort to engage the diff lock do to the short lever and lack of leverage. Happy New Years!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good stuff, thanks for taking the time to share!

[@sap3055]

That triangle sign must take away a lot of the vue of the three point hitch and so im glad we don't need to use this in Norway

[@mr.fringeminority5426]

I like seeing people talk about usa made. Kubota engines are made in illinois and my L4701 I bought a year ago was made in Georgia. Where was your john deere engine made???

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'm not sure what point you're making. If you believe that a Kubota is 100% made in the USA, then I would surely love for you to provide us all with that information. Complex machines with hundreds or thousands of parts source components from around the world. So, please, provide some information to lend legitimacy to your statement. Also, I'd encourage you to check out Tractor Time With Tim's John Deere factory tours right here in the USA and their discussions about how many components are sourced from the USA.

[@simpleman4196]

Both machines are made in Georgia with globally sourced parts. Iam just talking the engine kubota engines are made in the usa and then deere engine is sourced from overseas. Both companies make smaller tractors overseas as well. The kubota sxs zero turns and bx and L series are made in Georgia

[@GoodWorksTractors]

6:47 when you’re measuring the height of the L 6060 three-point hitch, you have it set to the low height. Pull the pin and put it in the higher position, and it would be higher than the green tractor. I don’t believe this would have any effect on the lift capacity, only height.

They’re both nice look’n tractors with some great options buuuuut, I would still take the JD over the Kubota. I’ve operated a few Kubota’s, not that particular model but similar and I just wasn’t that impressed. Especially with their loader capacities. It seems to me at least that JD has more hydraulic psi than Kubota. Not sure if that’s a fact or not but, that’s the way it seemed to me. I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve got kind of a thing about JD to begin with. Plus I prefer JD’s hydro stat foot controls over Kubota’s. Even if it is a little better than Kubota’s smaller compact style foot controller I just dislike that style.

My Kubota M59 tractor has a 4,000lb loader lift capacity. Picked-up a 2003 Mazda3 8-feet high with the 60" forks.

L4060 vs JD model? Thought it was the 3046R, but the L4060 is more tractor.

Hi Freunde, welcher ist der Gewinner? Ich sage, der Kutoba! Gruß von Germany

Very little deference between the top brands, JD just charges a few grand more.

That john deere looks better and more neatly built

How about looking at different tractors, kioti tractors are very reliable great value, they have higher lift capacities, 6 year warrantee, 2 year bumper to bumper, Deere and kubota ask too much for what they offer. I like both Deere and kubota, but couldn’t justify buying one for the cost. Much more value with a kioti. If you really dig into tractor dependability, specifications, and capacities when you look at kioti you would be surprised. If your sponsored by kubota you would not compare kioti.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Kioti would be my next choice after either of these. Biggest knocks are lack of dealers for support, parts availability, depreciation, and the finer details on quality and craftsmanship. I've have quite a few Kioti's over the years on trade and really have liked them overall. I'm not sponsored by anyone and show the equipment I want to show. Thanks for watching.

The biggest and most important issue that you skipped is that John Deere is nt allowing the consumer to service and repair their tractor. There are presently hundreds of cases of owners of JD equipment that JD is hold their tractor ransom, not allowing the owners to repair the tractor. They are requiring the owners to pay to have the tractor taken to the dealer and having to pay the dealer to do even the most simple repairs. JD had locked the software and is remotely shutting off tractors that were repaired by 3rd parties. DON'T BUY GREEN!

If you're going to discuss this topic, then make sure you include what size tractors you're talking about. My channel is about subcompact and compact tractors which aren't affected at all.
