John Deere 4066R: 250 hr/3 year Update

An owner's real-world check-in at 250 hours and three years with a 4066R, covering roughly 100-plus hours of snow removal, minor reliability issues, and two DIY mods in detail: custom LED cab lights and a wired linear actuator for the skid steer plate. Also addresses the mechanical self-leveling loader trade-offs, the notoriously poor wipers, cab comfort in extreme cold, and an adjustable top-link recommendation. Best for prospective buyers or current owners weighing long-term ownership.
