I own two 4020s both early models. One power shift. I grew up helping a close friend who had a 966. I also own a 1086 so I am not a all green or red kind of guy. I can tell you that if money is tight the 966 sells for 1/2 what a 4020 will. I have a friend who has a 9 for sale for 3500. You cant buy a parts tractor 4020 for that. The powershift 4020 is hands down a nicer tractor for making hay. Backing in wagons or doing chore work a 4020 with either tranny is the way to go. For tillage work a 966 weighted down is a good puller. Side by side it will out pull a stock 4020, but will never ride as nice. A 4020 will always hold its value if you don't over pay for it in the beginning. Think of one of them being an investment. I have seen both tractors with 10,000 hours on them and still running with little repairs, so to say one engine or tranny being better than the other would be a hard sell. I never liked round baling with a 966 because you need to reach behind the seat to turn on and off the PTO. I have seen adaptor leavers to move this to the side. A early 4020 sucks to have the hydraulic leaver on the left side dash each time you want to kick out a bale. I have a set of remote controls mounted on a pedestal between the right fender and the seat. It looks very nice and works better than a late 4020 side controls with out having to pay the big buck to own one. Each tractor can be made nicer very easy. Long story short,, either tractor will do the job and you will not be sorry. One just costs more money to own. Al

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
