Covers loader lift heights and capacities, transmission differences (including the L6060's six-speed hydro versus Deere's power reverser option), pedal design, hood access, fuel fill location, and backhoe digging depth. Numbers are cited but neither machine is driven. Best for buyers who have narrowed their search to these two top-of-compact-class models.
Good Works Tractors is a tractor-attachment retailer with 241,000 subscribers, so the channel blends genuine owner enthusiasm with an underlying commercial interest in selling implements.
At the pivot point, the 4066R has 110 inches of max lift height while the L6060 has 112 inches.
It has three ranges (high, medium, low) each with a high and low micro adjustment, giving six speeds total, double most hydro transmissions.
The Kubota's fuel fill is in a convenient low location near the ground, while the John Deere's fuel fill is located on the fender.
At a two-foot flat bottom digging depth, the John Deere has 102 inches versus 110 inches on the Kubota.
