Read articles →This is a snow-plow-business owner comparing his own fleet of John Deere 4066Rs against Kubota L6060s, not a spec-sheet review. He covers speed, front weight capacity, toolbox setup, three-point hitch pins, hydraulic couplers, cab windows (heated rear, corner windows), and loader control ergonomics, drawing on real operating hours and breakage issues. He ultimately favors the Kubota. Best for snow-removal operators choosing a plow tractor, not general buyers.
Posted by an owner-operator running both brands in a commercial snow business, giving a hands-on but openly opinionated comparison favoring Kubota.
The owner says Kubota L6060 wins overall for price, reliability, cold starting, operator comfort, and cab simplicity, though the 4066R is faster and holds more front weight.
If operators drive with the blower up and the back window open, it shatters the window; the 4066R lacks corner windows and a heated rear window.
The 4066R can load up to 15 weights on the front with an extension kit, while the Kubota L6060 can only load up to 7 weights at 55 pounds each.
The Kubota L6060 has simpler, more ergonomic loader controls that fit the hand and operate with one hand, versus the more difficult John Deere controls.
