SAVE YOUR MONEY! THERE'S SUCH A THING AS TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER

John Deere announced a new compact tractor recently, the 4075R. It's their biggest coming in more powerful than the 4066R, and then you jump up into the category of Utility Tractors. And to put it simply, I don't understand it. Who is this tractor for? Why does it exist when the 4066 is so similar?

We'll walk you through our questions about this new tractor and we want to know if you agree or disagree. So leave a comment.

I might be wrong but I think the 4075R was intended for the inverted pull-behind snow blower operators as a Super Deluxe Snow Cab version. The new, extra HD front axle may also help support that application.

Bought the 5100M John Deere, love it, Pick up tall deer stands without disassembly, 15 ' batwing, genesis 5 drill, monster grapple. BUT, you don't hop on and off large cab tractor easily or go under trees on small roads in the woods, so I bought 35c case with 6' bush hog. If I had 20 acres would get 25 hp, 40-60 acres 35 hp, 80-120 60 hp, etc My final word after having owned several tractors of all sizes is: You need two tractors and a bigger barn than you built !!

I am director of facilities for a school district and we have a 4066R that we use for everything including mowing with a 17’ batwing mower, there are definitely times that the mower bogs down and we could definitely use more horsepower. Bigger tractor does not work for us, we can get on our sports fields earlier in the spring with the lighter 4 series than we could with our last tractor that was a 5 series Deere I know ours is a unique situation but it’s an example of the need for the 4075R. As always great video

I plow snow commercially and run a 15' flex wing with an L6060. Ive put 3000 hours on l6060s over the past 8 years. I absolutely can use all the HP I can get. Why not get a bigger tractor? I also finish grade 10k sq ft irrigated subdivision yards with curbs, fences and sidewalks with it. If someone made a 100hp tractor in that size I would use all 100hp.

I have the 5075, upgraded from a 5045. The 45 was the opposite problem. It got the job done, but was definitely at its max on a few tasks. I love the 5 series frame size, amd figured I can always back off if I dont need all the power, but I have no options if im under powered.

[Bigsoot]

I run a slashing business in Australia, a brush hog to you Americans and i find my 4066r to be underpowered to run a 6ft brush hog i think the 4075 would be absolutely perfect for anything you want to run a PTO and plus you’ll never say in a years time you’ll never say god i wish i had less horsepower haha

[thematrixman]

I subscribe to the Tim Taylor school of thought.

To address the question at the end: I have a 3046R and have no regrets about getting the highest HP in the frame size. There are several instances where I'm using every bit of power - tilling up hills, pulling a seed drill, running 7' brush cutter, pulling a subsoiler, etc.

[markronck]

You have good points in your information you talk about. I enjoy learning about the information you talk about. It all depends what you need to do and and how much land you have to work. Then the options to get the work done.

[cncos]

Totally agree. I do fine with my 4044m. Never had an issue with lack of PTO power. I have run a wood chipper, brush hog, tiller, flail mower, post hole digger, no issues.

[bryantfargen]

Remember when you were tilling your garden and said, " I couldn't go slow enough" 75 Hp with hydro transmission. Would of been perfect in that situation

[terrygroce]

A lot of good information for anyone wanting to purchase a tractor. Decide what you are using it for and the attachments you will purchase to use on it. Love your videos.

[lebraun]

I think there is some validity to the spec. The 4 series is a good size machine for a small hay operator. If you start looking at disc mowers, the PTO requirements start going up, the 3 point is capable of handling these mowers if the horsepower is there.

[RandyHunt]

I have a 2019 4066r with under 200hrs loaded with every option, bought it used from an acreage owner. It’s a gem lots of power just wish there was a better seat option but it works just fine it will more than likely my last tractor….

[PineyGroveHomestead]

Totally agree. We had the opportunity to use a 5075E JD on our 20 acres and it's just too much tractor in size and power. Our 40hp Kubota is just about perfect in size. Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!

[joshualake]

Our biggest issue is our current farm tractor is 60 HP but it's large in size for the property we have. We retired from farming mainly just brush hog now and loader work. So I really like the compact utility tractors like the 4052m and 4066m or the Kubota MX series or Grand L series or even the New Holland boomer/workmaster 45-50 HP tractors.

[ruyguy]

Here in Nova Scotia, Canada. Each over 60PTO HP tractor is sold without sales tax as a government agriculture incentive. So when I compair the price of even a 50HP compact tractor, loader, cab ; to an entry level 70HP (61PTO) utility tractor, the 70HP are either dead equal or slightly less than the 50. It's all a matter of what the customer needs, or in some cases.. has room for. Plus, usually the transmission options on the 70HP plus utility sized tractor have more transmission and shuttle options which may suite the users better.

This was an interesting video!

Stump grinding would be my biggest use for the 4075R. My 4066 handles a baumalight 3p34 but just barely when I'm in bigger (36+ inch) stumps which are common here in the pacific northwest. A little extra PTO power for this application would be awesome. That being said, I have absolutely 0 intention to trade in my 4066 for a 4075.

[JCWren]

What would be nice is a way to dial the horsepower on the PTO, so you could run smaller implements with a larger tractor. While it wouldn't be practical for a gear drive tractor, it should be with a hydrostatic system. Basically you're measuring the load on the PTO and if it exceeds the set point, it starts bypassing.

My grandpa used a ford 9n to farm 120 aces and he was king of the hill. There are so many attachments (new/old) that can do the job just or almost as well that work well on the smaller tractor

Finally got my own tractor end of this april, a 5103 50HP. I've already put 50hrs on it since. Ran a 7' brushhog, dug out along our rental house to put in a french drain. Dug it down 3' deep x 50' long & 10' wide. I bought it used, with a bale spear/pallet fork. I do like that JD QD. I commonly need 1 pallet of feed a month. Major reason, last winter, we got over 18" of snow in 1 storm. Ended up snowed in for over 2 weeks out of a 3 wk period. Don't want to be like that again. Then, once we get our own place, I want to be able to put up our own hay.
