What are the advantages and disadvantages of both for a hot farm type of puller? Have one of each spotted about the same shape and price.

In my area all you see is red tractors in the bigger classes. I am tired of seeing it so I plan to build a 4320 in the near future. The guys with the red tractors tell me that it is cheaper and easier to build them compared to a deere. Just because something is cheap and easy that don't automaticly make it right. Id go green.

If you want to have a tractor that will be worth something beyond whatever you stick into it, go with the 4020. 1066s are a dime a dozen, which is why no one sheds a tear to see one butchered into a puller. Some guys also pull what they LIKE, not what is perceived to be a guaranteed winner, because the fact is that there's no such thing.

that is a whole pile of BS.
either one will never get your money back out once you start.
that is simple fact from watching the national prices,not just in nebraska.
whenever you modify chances are it will be exactly what you want,but seldom what the next guy wants so they will not pay full price for something that is less than what they really want.
no one goes into a sport to try to do as good as they can with what they want,they go in to win.

That depends on how much butchering you want to do. The fact of the matter is that a stock 4020 will bring more money than a stock 1066 pretty much any day of the week. If you want to keep both relatively "stock" and compete in "farm" pulls and not completely strip them down to nothing and start over, the 4020 will still bring more money day in and day out. And that's simple fact. Live with it.

last sale i went to they were not bringing more.
and a hot rodded 4020 isn't going to have much more power than a fuel screwed 1066.
facts are facts,can you live with them?

The 4010 works just fine for me! You can get them down to 6500# with out any trouble, don't know if you can do that with the 1066. As far as power, got plenty of that also. I guess it all boils down to what you prefer.

Honestly I've beaten a 1066 or 2 and a 1206 with a pathetic JD 2840 (329 cid non turbo)in the 9500 lb (so called) out of field class. Found a good spot on the track and they didnt.

Honestly, yes, were talking Farm Stock, not hot farm. 10,000 class, 100 horse. I haven't beat any in the so called hot farm classes, because none around our area get them down to 6500-8000# classes. All things being equal, a 1066 is comparable to a 4440, so I would say I'm doin pretty well when they are usin the in line pumps and I am still on the rotary. Just cause the 1066 has more cubes on paper than the 4010/4020 does not always translate into victory on the track, you still have the human element of driving. It still boils down to preference.

1066 is more like a 4430,1086 and 4440 were made at the same time.
i have no doubt that it can be done,but not with any consistancy at all.
a time or 2 simply translates that someone did a poor job on the track.

both would be the same as far as the modifications same engine,turbo, rpms etc. Just wondering about the cost of mods, weight reduction etc.

4020 would be lighter,after that the 1066 has all the advantages.
the 414 in the 1066 will handle 5000 rpm with some heavier valve springs,no mods needed to the bottom end.
the IH also has a cross flow head and in stock form it will flow as good to a ported JD head.

`I like green tractors but for pulling between the 1066 or 4020 the 1066 gets the nod. the dt400 series is a great engine and you have more gears with the torque and hi performance parts are everywhere
