Well lets look a the spec.s of BOTh . Yep i love red BUt the 4020 is a ice tractor , BUT they are fuel hogs when worked , why lets look at head design . They are NOT a cros flow head , next lets look at weight of the tractor , the 4020 is lighter , the engine on a 4020 is 404 cu. in. the 966 has a cross flow head and better bottom end torque and uses less fuel , the 966 has 10 CU. In over the der and it has better bottom end torque and it is heavier , then ya add in loaded tires and yes i am for LOADED tires add in a 1000 on the nose and some iron on the wheels the 966 can get to 14-15000 lbs vary easy. Will that be enough ?? don't know as i do not know your ground . Where we farm at there are times the 1066 fully loaded is not enough when dealing with fully loaded 18 foot silage wagons that can weight out at 32000 plus pounds and even behind the two big tractors whe use to use and they were weighing in at over 20000 each the loads would do what they wanted as TAIL WAGGING THE DOG . I have had a simple four row planter loaded full of fert and corn shove me with a 706 fully loaded down a hill ( that was fun) . With out seeing what your dealing with we are all guessing . And yes i have had a loaded wagon and baler shove a 1486 with loaded 20.8x38's full rack on the ft and three sets of Donuts on the wheels . what tires ya run is important and condition of the tires . Your 756 weighted can get you to 14000 and maybe a shade more , depending on tire size , ft weights and 150 wheel weights . YOu strt off with a tractor that weighs in around 9 to 9500 bare then throw in a 100-110 gal. of full strenght Cal each tire will run a 1000 or more then throw on another 750 in iron on the rear and a grand on the ft. with good tires makes a huge difference . No weight your asking for trouble .
