new holland just released some info on a tractor that they are starting to produce in march, (retro boomer 8n) same colour as the old 8n similar sheet metal, 55hp diesel, fwa and all the new toys, looks pretty cool!! YouTube - Boomer 8N Walk-Around

 

That actually looks pretty cool! They dida nice job with that one for sure.


Its still not a JD though....

 

oh man! now a guy with green shorts

 

Sweet, it would look great parked beside my 1957 Ford 800 tractor.
I phoned for a price but the salesman was tied up and hopefully he gets back to me tomorrow. I maybe in for a shock....

 

Im guessing it will cost around what a new kabota, or JD would be in that size.

Sure is nice though, I wouldnt mind having something like that out here.

 

not sure on price yet we just got the dealer launch package today

 

This size of tractors aren`t usually too expensive till the options are piled on such as hydrostatic transmission, loader, cab with heat /ac and front wheel assist it really adds up quick!
The last time I checked on the cash, no trade price of a 25/30 hp tractor it jumped from the high teens to the high twenties + in a big hurry.

 

They did a nice job. The hood looks a lot like the old 8N.

For me I would stick with a Deere.

 

As much as I liked my JD I also really like my Ford 800 tractor though I miss the hydrostatic trans.
As long as the Boomer 8N isn`t priced any higher then a Deere or too big for my yard work I might go with it....... if I go for a new tractor.

 

Here`s the link to the Elenco conversion front wheel assist Ford 8N tractor:

Hey pitshop, when yahear of a price on those bad boys, make sure ya post it, im interested in seeing what kinda price they go for!

 

Seems like the release of this model isn`t till March 09, my guy wasn`t yet able to quote a price. A similarly equipped NH tractor-50 hp with hydrostatic runs around $28,000 plus loader/$6,000, cab with heat and ac/$5,000. These are very much like Bobcat price for cab with heat and ac

 

Woooo thats a spicey meatball!

Out of the two, give me a bobcat anyday!

 

Not too bad if you compare it to new vehicles, other toys.
Remember it`s only money........

 

That sounds like your platinum card talking haha!
