4020 vs 1066 update

Wendell Burton · Nov 30, 2009

Ran the 1066 over the weekend. Big, strong, smooth and quiet. T/A works fine. Way too big for my needs though. I'll keep my 4020 for now.

Wendell, In this Economic climate I think it is a good decision. Not having a major capital outlay now is smart! Unless it is absolutely necessary for you to carry on your Farming activities.
For the last 4 yrs are so I have had the pleasure of running a JD4230 which is a 4020 in 30 Series Tin. I have a 73 966, Both have their Strong points and Short comings. You have not said if your 4020 is a Straight 8 Speed standard or a Power shift!
The 4230 I have ran is an ol Straight 8 Speed This tractor is really sweet on a 15 ft Batwing Shredder, Where I still prefer My 966 on All tillage activities Just my thoughts here. Take care!

Our company just bought a new CNC turning machine. The supplier needed to make a sale. We have received a discount, with tax incentives of over $200,000. Totally tooled up to run, was estimated to be just under $1 million. But they will not buy a $30,000 CNC drill to replace my slow 30 year old drill. Because it is a slow ecomony.

Syncro shift. This was a tempting even-swap. There is no doubt his 1066 is worth more. If I traded, I would have to sell it and go searching for another tractor. Maybe a 3020. "The devil you know vs the devil you don't".
