The left (hidden) knob controls the max height when the ''raise' button is pressed to raise the 3 point hitch. This is useful when you don't want to raise the 3 point all the way each time. Set this knob at the desired height, and set the depth control to the desired depth, then simply use the raise and lower buttons to move between these two presets. Hope this explains this. We skipped it in the video. Sorry.
Tim and Christy, once again we had “more fun than we should be allowed to have!” Thanks for letting me hang around and explore the new tractors and features along with practical observations and your insight. Also, Christy is a video and editing magician. She has a wonderful gift of catching folks doing things and making us look good! (Or in my case crazy 😉) So glad I could be a part of it. Blessings. Kenton
Kenton you call it (or laugh) as you see it man! He has the laugh of reason. I absolutely love his hilarious & contagious attitude! Keep inviting him to be part of your videos Tim! Oh the JD features are good to see as well. As an orange owner, I hope Kubota's taking notes! Thanks Tim!
Wow! I’m flattered! It does a heart good to know that someone enjoys something that one was a small part of. Mutual tractor enthusiasm, interesting topics, great hosts, beautiful weather and light hearted banter make for a wonderful time and I’m glad you enjoyed us all having fun! Kenton
Very nice machines. I’m glad to see the improvements Deere is making for our farmers that are in these machine for hours and days at a time. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Never forget the sacrifices made so we can enjoy times like these.
Just got my new 2023 JD 4044R with a cab! It’s awesome! Took me 3 tractors before I decided to get a cab! To all those debating about getting a cab, get it! You won’t be sorry!
Awesome video!! Kenton is my favorite helper in your videos!! I so wish I had a Kenton in my life!! His perspective on the rear windshield wiper was priceless!!! Deere engineers could learn so much from common sense guys like you and Kenton!! I think I’ll be staying with my 2018 JD1025r!! All I need to do so many things!! Thanks TTWT!!
Allen, I appreciate your kind comments very much. Tim and Christy are wonderful folks and make for an enjoyable time. And, when Tim turned the wiper on, my response was purely spontaneous. My tractor rear wiper may not stop at home, but it clears more area than that!! Thanks again Allen, and it makes my heart glad that you enjoy our antics.
I would say the snow package would be the farmers choice for that size tractor. Elec hookups for planters, sprayers, spreaders and hay equipment, extra hydraulics in the rear, preset levels on the 3pt for turning at the ends of fields or from field to field road use, and mounting locations for the screens to run them. Such a great thing not having to try and add them in later on.
My dream machine would be a 3052R. I moved up from a 3520 to a 4052R last year, mainly for the improved pto power (I didn’t feel like a 3046 really made enough difference at the pto for my use.) but would happily go back to a 3 series for the smaller, more maneuverable frame size. The extra power has been great, but sometimes the 4052 is just a bit big physically for what I need, and I have to work around it.
When Kenton started laughing at rear wiper. I immediately started laughing also and thought of scene in Laural and Hardy movie when they were using rope to control the wipers.
Great video and had a great time yesterday talking to my local dealer about the power of the 1series and was amazing when he brought up you guys with Johny x
I love seeing you two together. Kenton does laugh at your jokes. Forget the tractors, when are you two going on the road? Christy didn’t even get a word in on this episode. Great video!!!!!!
Tim, thanks for your encouraging and supportive comment! Tim and Christy are the genuine folks that they appear to be, and tend to bring out the best in others. It is a fun time to be with them, and satisfying that you enjoy us being ourselves.
I hate to be that guy because I prefer green over orange but in my opinion the Kubota Grand L cab is nicer. It’s bigger than JD and you can circulate the air inside the cab which you cannot do on the John Deere. The John Deere is always pulling dirty hot air from outside for the AC. Am I wrong Tim?
Nice machine! I'm all for the new electronic stuff to make life easier, as long as they are built reliable enough! Electronic Command Cut comes to mind... then you wish it was mechanical! Looking forward to seeing more!
The knob on the left under that cover on the 3pt hitch actually sets the quick return height limit. Keeps you from crashing certain configurations of hoses, implements ect into parts of the machine. Ask me how I know. Haha. Really bummed they didn't put a Class 2 on this machine. Wonder if it can be dealer ordered as an option in a custom build.
TTWT License plate might actually be a good piece of merchandise for the channel honestly. Pretty nice QOL feature set on these new tractors. Enjoyed seeing some of these features make it on sub-compacts! Happy Memorial Day!
I am one of those people that to much technology scares me. Got to have key on to lower 3 point, everything is electronically controlled, one little malfunction will stop tractor. I am only a simple homeowner that will keep my mechanical old school compact tractor. You 2 were great in this video, good job guys. Keep videos coming.
Holy smokes Tim !! Finally a right hand door shock !! Way to go Bolton hooks !!!!! Got mine ordered waiting for it to be shipped. Shipping was a little high at $20 bucks for such a small little box !! Tim, it's OK to harass John Deere about simple little items like this !! It would make the tractor so much nicer and easier to work with and Kenton is right I'm the same I use that right hand door constantly to reach in and mess with my three point up-and-down on my 3R series the loader leaks down all the time, so I have to reach in and lift the loader back up if I'm using my grapple to hold the logs up off the ground for cutting up firewood !! And I think everybody gave John Deere crap about a 20 or 30 year old Jensen radio that they were STILL putting in brand new machines ! Not only NO BLUE TOOTH but they were still charging $500 for a $50 radio More features that they should've added why not a self leveling loader, on the 3R series Yes, you can get it on the 4 series I know, and the 2 series and the 1 series why not the 3R series ??? So again, every series, except for 3 Just the same 320R loader nothing new !! I actually looked in to adding a electric hydraulic valve that splits the flow from the lift, and the tilt at the same time to make it, a self leveling loader through the hydraulics !! I actually spoke with someone at Summit hydraulics about this because Kubota uses it Bobcat uses it, and the fact that you can make it a self leveling loader from just switching a switch in the cab is so cool or if you just want to use it as the regular lift and tilt Flip the switch off ! Kubota definitely has much better features and better hydraulics then John Deere by far ! ( NO LEAK DOWN ) And John Deere knows it ! I think more people need to complain so they will actually come up with maybe a kit that you can add to your existing machine. The guy at Summit hydraulics was going to look into just that I told him it would be a great seller for them, whether they take the advice from an old farmer,we will have to wait and see ? Well everything's all about money if it'll fill their bank accounts they might do it and the guys at Bolton hooks are almost sold out of the right hand door shock upgrade. Kenton had me rolling about the rear windshield wiper ! It only moves about 9 inches !! Lol Oh sure any cab will cost close to $12,000 you think they would have illuminated controls for nighttime use, including the heat and air conditioning and what about intermittent wipers ? As soon as you get out of the 3 and 4 series compact, cheap cabs, you get everything much better
Thanks so much Don! I’m so glad, and encouraged that you enjoy my craziness. It is a lot of fun “working” (and it’s certainly not work for me) with Tim and Christy.
Seeing a 4066R and a 5055E side by side- with very similar equipment (cab, loader ready package, etc), really drove home the difference between the 2. They are similar in size, but TOTALLY different animals. The 4's are compact utility's, the 5's are Utility's. The 5E is much beefier, and set up to work. Few bells and whistles, just the stuff you need. Also, the cab is roomier. I'd say, that 5055E is just the modern version of the small loader tractor, or Mowing etc tractor found on every small and med farm ever. For a livestock farm, it's your daily driver chore tractor that also cuts and rakes hay, mows fencelines, runs augers, moves things around, and whatever else you need done that doesn't require lots of grunt or a 1000 rpm pto. (and doesn't guzzle as much fuel as those bigger tractors, either) The 4R series is more for homeowners, stables, landscaping outfits, etc. Esp Folks with less experience and who appreciate the extra creature comforts, like a hydrostat trans, Remote hitch controls, etc. They likely have less need for the extra beef and ruggedness of a full utility as well. Interesting, that they now make a 75hp version. I hadn't thought about the snow removal gig. Looks like a nice machine, tho- esp that beefy front axle! I THINK the 5075E MAY be part of the larger frame series of the 5's, but don't quote me on that. That would make for even more differences between a 4075R and a 5075E.
From a google search: What is black nitride coating? Black nitride is an extremely durable finish that is achieved via the QPQ method of "quench polish quench." This process leaves the material a dull black finish with excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance. This process can only be done to steel components. It's also used on many firearm parts.
Great video Tim! What an awesome machine I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos with it. John Deere is absolute quality and this tractor is a fine example and such they are charging a premium price for it. The three point control is awesome, those electric over hydraulic 3 point hitch controls were pioneered in the very first 7000 and 8000 series tractors. Something new then but now almost 30 years old and proven tech. My main gripes on that machine and the price point is, the rear wiper only seems to cover the window mainly over your right shoulder which is understandable but I think they could have made it cover the entire window edge to edge, and I don’t bunk bragging about a return to home wiper isn’t something I would mention as an improvement, kind of embarrassing it hasn’t been like that for a while, my 38k Massey has return to home wipers lol. Also for a machine of this size that will see large commercial and municipal use when is Deere going to go to ground level fueling like their larger machines and much of the competition. It will be interesting to see if this new model and price justifies its existence for another 8 PTO HP over the 4066R. Deere has also kept the rating on the 3pt hitch 24” back at 2500lbs which is very low in comparison to competitors. Just my .02 as always! Best of luck to you in the new machine can’t wait to see you putting it to the test.
Friends talked me into buying an RK55, which was a terrible mistake. I have owned a 4320 for 9 years and an NX6010 for 3 years with no issues. My 2024 4075r that I ordered is doing close to an 1800-mile trip but should be here in 3 weeks.
Cat 1 or Cat 2 should be an option. That's what I would expect, sad to hear it's not. One thing I've noticed about Deere in the last 30 years, they do great things, just fall short of going that last little bit.
Love it ... ! Just for completeness : My 2018 2036R (Europe) does already have CAN bus, it's hidden in the service connector (standard J1939 type) located right inside the panel of the steering column (below the thottle lever) on the board between engine and operator side. You'll see better from the engine side (rear side of the connector) green (CAN-L) and yellow (CAN-H) lines are CAN bus. I guess it's similar to any model starting with 2R series - hidden but there. Can't talk for others than my 2036R but on that 2036R it's connecting all the stuff together, instrument cluster, engine control, mower deck control, ... I guess it's hidden because CAN bus do need termination on the data lines.
1025r is the best tractor on earth. Yes im biased, im a proud owner of a 2018. So maybe there's a few better best tractors, but mine is more loved. I love my Joan, Dear.
It is a Black Nitriding ,Advantage is better lubricity and deeper hardness. Much better resistance to impact damage and it will not flake off like chrome can.
Interesting about the CAN Bus connector and the 30-amp power in the rear. In addition to being able to diagnose the tractor, it also opens the possibility that Deere will have intelligent implements in the future.
The best noise canceling device in those cabs would be a radio block-off plate like they used when you didn't order a radio back in 50's & 60's. Seriously! 😮
Third comment is the charm: Those 4 series are lovely tractors, and id love to get one with a cab. Also, i love hydrostatic tractors, they seem to handle the bumps and jars of our rocks better than gear drive tractors, at least transmission wise. While thats been my experience, im sure others will argue the point, its just what i e observed in my area.
Don’t forget about the LED headlights as a new feature on both too! I would imagine you could swap headlight housings with previous models. I own a 3039R and might attempt this myself at some point.
You should experiment and see if the 4075R (on level ground) is capable of pulling something like the S250 MoCo. It is technically within spec for HP and hydraulics. Only concern might be weight of the mower itself. Could be a game changer for the small hay operations or large hobbyists.
So I just got a 4066R last year only 35 hours and would really liked to have the larger hp with the hydrostatic transmission. It did take 8 months to get the the tractor delivered bc of all sorts of excuses from dealer but I did get everything I could get essentially except 540e PTO. I have many questions but I checked the JD website and the PTO hp is the same as 4066 at 51.9? or maybe just incorrect information but it seems that the PTO was not upgraded any to match a higher hp engine. I do LOVE my 4066R even though if I had waited 12 months I would have ordered a 4075R if the PTO was larger bc the cutoff point for most attachments that are used traditionally with the 5 series or greater have a minimum of 55 hp such as bailing equipment etc. There is enough weight to counter balance with fluid in rear tires and wheel weights to match the pulling requirements and tongue weight etc. The idea of LED lighting is great as also was not an option from OEM at the time. The 3 point upgrades are absolutely worth it I would believe from my very limited experience - hitch assist and electro hydraulic control from the cab. It seems that if possible JD should be doing more with series 4 and 5 to make even more user friendly for folks who would like the greater hp and capabilities with the ease of use of the transmission options and PTO amongst many more upgrades/options bc if you are spending $100,000 on a tractor and attachments they should really do all the work for you. But I agree with others who state the cab is as comfortable as a car and handles just about as easy.
i know you have the bucket up all the way, and not under it but i cant see if it has the drop down arm on the cylinder like big loaders do usually pinned up out of the way😎
Great improvements. I'll buy a new one when they come out with electric over hydraulic joystick control. The cable linkage works well but is a bit stiff
Hey Tim, how does the engine compartment look for the DIY mechanic doing routine maintenance? ease of filter location, access to engine bay etc? One pain about my NH T4.75 is oil/fuel filter locations. you pretty much need to change them all at the same time due to location.
I have that rear wiper as it was the optional kit. For snow it's a win keeping the window clear to see the snow blower. Did you notice they moved the antenna?
Needs a Class II Hitch. I run an 80" inverted blower that can do either 1 or 2 and it's FAR more stable when I have the Class II setup. It's wider and that makes a difference. I see similar with the 80" Land Plane. The Class II extra width just keeps the implement more stable behind the machine. I can't imagine it costs that much more to put the larger arms on at the factory. For the record, my machine is an old 1968 Ford 5000. Some of those comforts sure look nice. But then again, my machine was about $10k with the implements. (^_^) You should go meet and talk with some of those Canadian companies like Nick Bohner, that use the tractors for snow. They are amazing to watch. Whole reason I got a 60hp machine was so that I could run an inverted blower and it's the cat's meow here in New England. Heavy Wet snow? No Problem. Sure it can't fling that 60 ft like it can powder, but my tractor can move stuff that my 10hp Ariens blower clogs and dies trying to move. Get a big storm with deep snow and you have no narrow roads from packed banks, no problem tossing over the edge, and with the throwing action behind you, you have no problem seeing what's ahead. Very useful when reaching an intersection. Will be cool to see these new machines with Cyclone style blowers in action.
I think it is a titanium dioxide (tio) coating or titanium nitride (tin) coating? I think they have improved friction and corrosion properties. Its been at least 15 years since I learned about the stuff.
Is there a outside speaker the operator could install/use like a cb inside the cab to “bark orders” 😂without having to keep opening the doors or even get someone’s quick attention or the like?
Great video Tim! A question I have is have J.D. improved the cooling system on the 4075r? My 4066r struggles when the temps start to climb. Looking forward to the upcoming videos!
My understanding on the black cylinder rods is that the black coating is more rust resistant than chrome. Since many compact/sub-compact tractors do not get used often, pitting and rust on the chrome rods is an issue. Chrome is fine for machines used regularly because the rods get a coating of hydraulic fluid when they are retracted. On my excavator with chrome rods, the user manual says that if the machine is to be stored for a length of time ( over a month, IIRC), to fully retract all rods, if possible.
Very nice tractor, even though it is green. LOL Here in most parts of Canada if the PTO is rated at 60HP or more there is no sales tax. Which to a home owner that is purchasing these tractors is a substantial saving. Here for instance it would be 15% on the purchase price, which on these tractors is huge. Of coarse if it is for commercial/Ag usage there are tax reimbursements that are in place. But if strictly being a personal tractor, there is a huge advantage to by the 60HP+ tractor. I look at this tractor and think WOW how much easier would that make it, over my old 1967 David Brown HHHUUUMMM
My new 23 3046R came in over the weekend, to my surprise it has all the new updates seen here. Curious did you try to stream music from your phone through the new radios. The old ones were Bluetooth but only worked with phone calls, can’t stream music on the old ones. I am hopes that the new ones can steam music too. I will find out soon, just thought I would ask you about it.
Definitely would prefer the DPF filter with regen, than DEF fluid. The coating looks like nitride, or some other form of DLC(diamond like coating) they use it in firearms and it definitely protects the metal.
@@MrRandalhandle I believe the DOC system used to avoid DPF is basically a DPF that is always hot/in regen where you don’t have as much filter plugging, but still have the hot exhaust and fuel usage. I don’t believe any 75hp class machines have ever used DEF as the entire point of that power rating is it’s the point where the emissions limits change (which is why DEF gets used above it)
Tim correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that TYM has been using an electric rear lift for sometime. Great video I wonder if Pete (GCI) knew this tractor was coming when he ordered his 4066R?
So is the engine the same as the 4066r with a software upgrade or does it actually have different hardware on it to get the 9hp. Also did they put a 12v aux power port on the right side or is it still on the left even though anything you put in would be on the right window?
On the 4075r, did they upgrade the steering system which sometimes struggles on a 4066r under heavy load. Like a better pump, bigger steering cylinder, bigger hydraulic hoses going to steering cylinder???
I’d like to see the difference in fuel consumption between the 4066r and the 4075r since they did not increase fuel capacity. Also the fuel consumption difference between the 4075r and 5075e would be interesting.
Excuse me for asking but I have a good question. Is a green star GPS compatable with a 3r or 4r? Reason I am asking is, (I may sound like a fool here) I've been figuring out the basis of the cartoon styled machines from the johnny tractor books and products made by ertl and the videos on the official john deere kids channel on RU-vid. And yes I do collect the johnny tractor products myself.
Tim, does the 4 series come with easily removed screens to keep dust out of coolers? That is something I really like about the 5075E over my 3039R. That one is a major pain
thanks for the video I watched it about 3046r and 4075r so been waiting for some bigger changes on the 3046r so disappointed that I did not see but I have been calling several dealers in 4 states no one has them so I called the factory and corporate office they told me they are still shipping 2023 maybe I Did not get the right information maybe the one you demoed could have been a 2023 and MY 2024 is still in the making could that be possible I'm just hopping for some better changes before I continue my shopping
Surprised there are no mirrors. I couldn't operate my tractor without my wing mirrors. Surprised that is Cat 1 also. It looks beefy but still Cat 1. With my 60 Hp Orange tractor I abuse the 3 pt hitch and new Pats Ezy Change. I would LOVE to have the external control on the 3pt hitch. This is still the most difficult thing about the tractor is hooking up rear attachments.
4075? What’s the PTO horsepower? This should make this the most powerful compact on the market, I’ve owned two 4066 r and that was a great little tractor pretty powerful for what it is I would assume with the 4075 you will get about maybe 4 more PTO hp power? probably going to be expensive, here in California a 4066R will cost you over $70,000. I ran those 4066 pretty darn hard over 15000 on each one in three years. This new one will probably be a very good little tractor.
