John Deere 4010 Specs, Weight & Attachments (1960 vs 2002 Years Made)


The John Deere 4010 Row-Crop Tractor, manufactured in 1960, and the John Deere 4010 Compact Utility Tractor, manufactured in 2002, are two different models designed for different purposes and produced in different eras. This time gap of over four decades means that the two tractors incorporate different technologies and design philosophies. The 1960 Row-Crop Tractor was designed primarily for row-crop farming, meaning it was optimized for use in fields where crops are planted in rows with relatively narrow spacing between them. It likely featured a larger size and higher horsepower compared to the 2002 Compact Utility Tractor. On the other hand, the 2002 Compact Utility Tractor was designed to be versatile and suitable for various tasks on a farm or property, including mowing, landscaping, and material handling. It is typically smaller and more maneuverable than the older row-crop tractor, making it suitable for use in tighter spaces.


John Deere 4010 Row-Crop (1960) vs Compact Utility (2002)

The 2002 Compact Utility Tractor likely incorporates more advanced technology compared to the 1960 John Deere 4010 Row-Crop Tractor. This could include features such as electronic controls, improved ergonomics, more efficient engines, and potentially options for attachments like front-end loaders and mowers. While the 1960 Row-Crop John Deere 4010 may still be in use on some farms, finding parts and support for maintenance and repairs could be more challenging compared to the newer 2002 Compact Utility Tractor. John Deere and third-party manufacturers may still produce replacement parts for vintage tractors, but availability may be limited.

John Deere 4010 Row-Crop Tractor

In summary, while both the John Deere 4010 Row-Crop Tractor (1960) and the John Deere 4010 Compact Utility Tractor (2002) share the same model number, they are distinct in terms of design, technology, and intended use, reflecting the evolution of agricultural machinery over the decades.
