4066M Heavy Duty Compact Tractor
Features
Increased versatility with Category 1 and 2 implement compatibility
The rear hitch on 4M Heavy-Duty Tractors provides producers with implement versatility to perform in a variety of applications. Attaching implements is convenient with telescoping draft links and Category 1 and 2 hitch balls in base equipment. The mechanical hitch control also features a depth stop and a rate of drop adjustment. This feature provides consistency when lowering the hitch. Each time the position control lever is pushed forward, it stops where the depth stop has been positioned. This is valuable to anyone who desires consistent, level ground.
The 3-point hitch has plenty of lift capacity to handle heavy implements.
Category 1 and Category 2 hitches allow for hookup of a variety of 3-point hitch implements.
- Right-hand lift link and center-link are adjustable to save time when leveling equipment.
3-POINT HITCH CONTROL
The 3-point hitch control on the 4M Heavy-Duty Series Tractors is called position control.
- Operates precisely with no jerking or leak down
- 3-point hitch lever features easy-to-read increments for accurate positioning and an easy-to-adjust depth stop control
- The S-hook is provided to secure the center-link when hitch is not used
RATE-OF-DROP/STOP VALVE
Rate-of-drop/stop valve regulates lowering speed of 3-point hitch. It can be shut off completely to stop hitch movement.
TELESCOPING DRAFT LINKS (EXTENDABLE DRAFT LINKS)
Telescoping draft links will reduce the amount of effort to attach 3-point hitch implements by allowing the operator to make small adjustments without moving the tractor. It is standard on 4M Heavy-Duty Tractors.
Horizontal sway bar stabilizers regulate side-to-side sway of 3-point-hitch-mounted equipment.
- 4M Heavy-Duty Tractors come equipped with the horizontal stabilizer bars, the lock pin goes into the stabilizer bar vertically
- Mounted on outside of lower links for fast, easy equipment hookup
- Top-pull pin design allows easy adjustment without use of tools
- Retainer cable holds pin while pin is removed to adjust stabilizers
Rockshaft position control lever allows operator to accurately set implement depth or height.
- Operates precisely with no jerking or leak down
- Control lever features easy-to-read increments for accurate positioning
Easy-to-adjust depth stop enables the operator to lower implement to a predetermined depth.

Maximize productivity with an eHydro™ transmission
The tractor is available with a three-range electronic hydrostatic (eHydro) transmission.
- Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels using a pump and motor
- Functions both as a clutch and transmission
- Provides high torque for startup
- Reduces powertrain shock loads
Danfoss® supplies both the pump and motor. This ensures that the components are matched to each other, providing maximum efficiency.
The electronic hydrostatic transmission is ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.
Twin Touch™ foot controls allow the operator to select both directions of travel and speed with a touch of the toe.
Key features of the eHydro transmission:
- Infinitely variable ground speeds, in each range, allow the operator to match the speed of the tractor to the job.
- No clutching means fast and easy direction changes.
- Twin Touch foot pedals provide quick and easy forward/reverse operation.
- Cruise control is standard equipment:
- Cruise control switch is located on the right-hand console for easy access.
- Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged, which allows for precise setting of speed.
Danfoss eHydro transmission is used for reliable operation. Durability features include:
- Large forged trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise
- Center section made from ductile iron (much stronger than grey iron used in many competitive transmissions)
- Transmission oil cooler cools transmission oil for longer transmission life
Safety features of the eHydro transmission include:
- The tractor will start with one or both foot pedals depressed, but it will not move until both pedals first return to neutral.
- Operator presence system means the tractor will come to a stop if the operator leaves the seat but will not shut off unless the power take-off (PTO) is also running.
KEY JOHN DEERE ADVANTAGE
John Deere's Twin Touch foot controls offer key advantages over competitive hydro model tractors.
- Some competitive hydrostatic tractors use a treadle pedal designed (toe-heel) foot control for operation of the hydro.
- Requires the operator to use both toe and heel to change direction, resulting in increased operator fatigue
INTEGRATED EHYDRO FEATURES
The eHydro convenience controls have been integrated into a single module. Combining features such as SpeedMatch™ LoadMatch™, MotionMatch, eThrottle, and automotive-style cruise control pulls the maximum efficiency out of the eHydro transmission tractors. All these features are standard on the 4M Heavy Duty and 4R models and deliver customers an easier and more comfortable experience.
eThrottle
eThrottle indicator
Press a button to activate/deactivate eThrottle. When eThrottle is activated, depression of the travel pedal increases engine rpm and tractor speed simultaneously. This provides the operator with comfort and convenience as well as fuel economy.
AUTOMOTIVE-STYLE CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control indicator
An automotive-style cruise control is standard equipment on the 4M Heavy-Duty and 4R Series Tractors. Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and is located on the right-hand operator console.
- Maintains desired forward speed without pressure on the foot pedal
- When activated, the operator is able to set cruise speed:
- Use the SET/- button to set cruise speed, or to decrease cruise/maximum speed
- Use the RES/+ button to set cruise speed, or to increase cruise/maximum speed
- A speed sensor also allows the tractor to maintain preset speed driving up and down hills
- To disengage the cruise control, either:
- Apply pressure to the brakes
- Disengage cruise control button
- Briefly depress the reverse travel pedal
LOADMATCH POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
LoadMatch indicator
LoadMatch is a standard feature on the 4M Heavy-Duty and 4R Series Tractors.
If torque requirements increase significantly, the transmission will reduce the tractor's drive speed to compensate for the increased load on the transmission, maximizing torque to drive wheels and minimizing stalls.
Controls automatically adjust LoadMatch compensation depending on the tractor’s application. PTO applications require less engine speed fluctuation, therefore adjusting the amount of droop depending on PTO speed. This adjustment increases efficiency and optimizes engine speed and torque output based on tractor application.
While typically left on, LoadMatch can be turned off with the right-hand console controls.
MotionMatch
MotionMatch, standard on the 4M Heavy-Duty and 4R Series Tractors, is located on the right-hand console. It offers seven settings for adjusting the rollout or decelerating when the pedal is released.
MotionMatch indicator
This icon indicates longer accelerate and decelerate distances.
MotionMatch indicator
This icon indicates shorter accelerate and decelerate distances.
SPEEDMATCH
SpeedMatch indicator
SpeedMatch, standard on the 4M Heavy-Duty and 4R Series Tractors, further enhances the eHydro cruise control functions by allowing the operator to preset maximum speed. Once this feature is engaged, the operator must stroke the travel pedal fully to meet the operator’s preset speed and press the Set button to lock the speed. From there, the operator can use the automotive-style cruise controls to adjust speed. This function will improve accuracy and safety, particularly at lower travel speed applications.
Rotary tilling or spraying applications are examples of where SpeedMatch can be applied. SpeedMatch will work in both the forward and reverse set speeds.
NOTE: Automotive-style cruise control and SpeedMatch can be used in conjunction with LoadMatch to maximize productivity.

OPTIONAL MID ELECTROHYDRAULIC THIRD SCV
Optional on the 4M Heavy-Duty Tractors is the factory-installed mid third-function SCV. This SCV adds versatility to tractor loader packages and enables the use of attachments such as a four-in-one bucket or root grapple.
The third function is controlled by a switch comfortably located on the loader joystick.
SCV CONTROLS
- Single control lever (A) makes operation of loader or other implements fast and simple.
- SCV safety lock lever (B) allows the operator to control the type of SCV lever movement needed for a particular operation or situation.
- The SCV safety lock lever allows loader hydraulics to be locked out so the boom and bucket will not drop if SCV lever is accidentally bumped.
- The SCV safety lock lever allows loader hydraulics to be locked out so the bucket will not dump if SCV lever is accidentally bumped.
NOTE: REGEN hydraulics should never be hooked to a motor or to a 2-cylinder angling operation such as a snowblade.
