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.

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.

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

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