In Reply to: 4020 vs 1066 posted by Wendell Burton on November 24, 2009 at 06:41:56:
If as you mentioned, your intent is to sell the 1066 and buy a smaller tractor, more suited to haying, then it"s all on you to look at the re-sale value of your Deere vs the IH 1066. The 4020 is a great tractor, but quite possibly the most over-rated tractor ever. (Deere"s have a tendency to be put on a pedestal by their faithful followers) The 1066 is a great tractor and somewhat under appreciated. All in all, the Deere would be a better compromise as a hayfield tractor though. If you wanted a tillage tractor, the 1066 will walk all over a 4020. No comparison. A closer comparison would be a 4430 Deere. (In that case, I"d take the 1066 in a heartbeat. NOT a 4430 fan)
But they both have their strengths and weaknesses. With either you"re looking at tractors 35 to 45 years old and most likely well used. At this point, it ISN"T about which is more of a "legend" as it is individual condition of two older tractors. I"ve ran both, and wouldn"t shy away from either if both were in good shape. But, as mentioned, they"re two distinctively different types of tractors.
