John Deere 4066R: Does the Top and Tilt Kit work with Downforce?

In this video we answer the question on if a top and tilt kit from Deere BLV10965 and BLV10967 works with the hydraulic downforce offered on the 4R Compact Utility Tractors. Out of the box... maybe... Installed... watch the video and find out.

it looks like it will fit as long as the tilt cylinder is slid all the way to the left. why not make a little spacer out of stacked washers or if you have some brass shim stock or something that would take up the space between the pin and the pivot point on the cylinder?

Thank you for making this video. I do a lot of grading work and would really like both the top and tilt or at least top link and down force. I’ve owned 3046r cab with top and tilt and 2038r with top and tilt and down force would be nice for hard packed surfaces

It does work in the 4 series you just need to grind a little off the tilt ram ! You will see where you need to grind .. it easy

Could you make like another mount that bolts where the tilt cylinder is to move it back an inch?

You don’t need to just grind a little off the tilt ram.. you will see where you need to grind.. it will not hurt the ram at all
