I have to agree with the others, 4,000 # is an awfull lot to lift with a farm tractor & loader, especially those two models. I doubt if the front end would hold up very long on the 666, especially if it's a wfe.
Years ago I had a loader on a 656 & it was a poor excuse of a loader tractor IMO. I later put the same loader (Freeman XL4000) on a 806. Big difference in what I could do with it but as others have said shifting could be a PITA at times.
I have also owned a JD 4020 PS with a 148 loader on it. Nicely match settup but a 158 loader would have more & higher lift. The Power Shift was really nice for loader work. However, the loader wouldn't pick a min bulk of seed (2500#) higher than the hood of the tractor. 4 2250# was about it.
I currently have an 806 with a 2355 loader. We don't use the loader that much, bought the outfit for the tractor. We have a 416B CAT loader/backhoe that we use for most of our loader work. 4000# would be nothing for it & up in the air it's very stabile.
For the work you're wanting to do you need to look at something more in the construction line that was designed to lift those kind of weight. The toque convert & shuttle shift make it ideal for repitious loader work. Once you get the hang of it you can be going the other way as soon as you stop, or before. Makes things go a lot faster.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
