Read articles →A brief owner-perspective walkaround of the John Deere 4052M that touches on a handful of cab controls, joystick loader, hydrostatic pedals, diff locker, PTO switch, and drops two lift-capacity numbers (2,000 lb bucket, 2,500 lb rear). It's a short, surface-level overview with no live operation or detailed specs. Best for someone who just wants a quick orientation to the cab layout from an owner who uses one.
Posted by the Green Tractor Hub channel; based on the transcript the speaker appears to be a hands-on owner comparing the 4052M to other series from personal experience, but no credentials or affiliations are stated.

Yes, the diff locker is located near the brake handle in the cab.
It has a three range hydrostatic transmission, described by the owner as an older 4000 series hydrostat.
The joystick controls the loader and can lock into a float position for back dragging.
