    Deere 4020 New Owner Questions

    If that’s the case that’s great news, as unless something goes wrong, that clutch should last a good long time with the amount of hours per year we’ll need to put on this unit (guessing around 40 hours of mowing and 10 hours of misc loading annually). Clutch free play appears to be good with...

    Clutch pedal adjustment bolt is all the way at the front/bottom of that slot. Would be the side of that slot furthest from the operator sitting in the seat.

    Super helpful info, and good to know it’s simple to remove the hood, too. I’ve been impressed at how quickly the panels can all be removed between the little spring pins and springs. Cool design.

    Hey Larry - follow up question: what makes you think the clutch has been recently replaced (hours wise)? Is it the position of that adjuster hold on the base of the pedal? Thanks for the help! With my goals for this tractor (disc now 50 acres of hay 2-3 times a year and use it for loading...

    Deere 4020 New Owner Questions

    Good to know for future hauls. Didn’t know it was a requirement, though when hauling my smaller tractor with loader, the bucket is what I chain down on the front… of course it’s a much smaller tractor and fits much better on the trailer. That 4020 was definitely the upper limit of what I’d...

    Definitely planning that before putting it to use. Have the service and operators manuals on the way already. Planning to put in the proper JD hydraulic fluid and the durex heavy duty pink coolant from our local farm store. It’s diesel specific with a heavy additive package and anti cav as well...

    Thanks for the info. Appreciate the community knowledge here that I can glean from. Good to hear what everyone has been doing successfully with their units. It is shifting fine through all gears, so I’ll just leave it alone for the time being.

    Deere 4020 New Owner Questions

    Thanks for the info. So far I’ve pulled all the side panels off and removed the lower portion of the air box, but have not raised the hood (have not looked at how to do that yet, would assume it entails pulling the muffler. I have the service and operators manuals both ordered and on the way...

    Thanks for the detail on the loader. Did he engineer some kind of quick disconnect for the brackets? Or just undo the 8 bolts whenever taking the loader off?

    Thank you very much for the welcome and helpful reply. I appreciate the info on the brakes and will definitely check out that screen to see what evidence may be down there. Fingers crossed it’s nothing. The tractor was in service at an industrial facility with an in house maintenance shop that...

    Diesel. I do think loader was added at some point. I’ll check the adjusting bolt tomorrow. Place o got it from indicated they’d had it since around 04 and used it to mow, with occasional loading. They also had skid steers and wheel loaders, so doubt this was a primary loader. Possible a lot of...

    Deere 4020 New Owner Questions

    Thank you for the info and quick response. Is there anything I should do on that shift lever to fill those grooves or lube to slow the wear? Or just keep adjusting as needed to compensate for the wear?

    New JD 4020 owner here. Have never owned a Deere, but have worked on many other tractors.
