John Deere 4 Family Compact Utility Tractors

[ADVERTISEMENT] John Deere presents the 4M and 4R Series compact utility tractors for homeowners and landscape contractors who are looking to do more than just mow grass.

Four, stylish models, (4049M, 4066M, 4049R, 4066R) make up the family and provide operators the uptime, performance, comfort and convenience needed for various tasks, including loading, mowing and digging.

“With Compact Utility Tractors, it’s all about finding the right machine to match customer needs,” said Scott Schadler, John Deere product marketing manager.

“Customers told us they wanted to spend less time installing and removing implements, wanted the ability to carry and store more tools, desired a more comfortable ride, and requested the ability to work in low-light conditions.”

The 4M and 4R models feature powerful engines ranging from 36.2 to 48.5 kW (49 to 66 hp) to muscle through tough tasks. The 4M models are equipped with a hydrostatic transmission with TwinTouch™ pedals that provide operators with simple, comfortable-to-use controls to find the right speed for the job at hand.

It’s as simple as pressing a single foot pedal to go forward and another foot pedal to reverse. Four-wheel drive comes standard on all 4M and 4R modelss for tough applications and harsh ground conditions.

The 4M tractors are designed for customers looking for an affordable and easy-to-use machine. The operator station features a flat floor, ergonomic controls and a fully-independent PTO.

Hydraulic options are available for using attachments. Optional wheel spacers provide 279mm (11 in.) of additional room on the axle and are ideal when the tractor is used on inclines or slopes.

The 4R tractors boast Hitch Assist, which enables fast and easy implement attachment. This function eliminates the need to go back and forth from the seat to the hitch. The operator can simply control the tractor and hitch while standing behind the machine.

All 4R models also feature integrated hydrostatic transmission controls on a single panel. Operators can easily select LoadMatch™ to automatically adjust engine-speed based on load, MotionMatch™ to adjust the responsiveness of the transmission, and SpeedMatch™ to enable automotive-style cruise control.

An optional ComfortGard™ Cab is available on the 4049R model. The tightly sealed cab keeps out dust and clippings, as well as microscopic allergens while featuring climate control for year-round comfort.

The cab also enables 360-degree views with forward work lights, front windshield wiper and an integrated radio antenna.  

Take a look and it’s easy to see why the 4 Family truly is the new king of the compacts.
