boomer 47 or newer 45

[4tillingdirt]

I know everyone has their favorites, but I have been researching tractors in the 40ish HP range and I cannot make up my mind. I was wondering how many people on this forum have had issues with more recent boomer 47s or the newer 45 if it has even been released?

I purchased a Boomer 40 a couple of months back and am happy so far. It's a couple of years old and I purchased it with 115 hrs.

The only problem I've had so far is trying to figure out a couple of grease points, I'm still trying to figure that out (see my post http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...ng/379500-new-holland-boomer-40-greasing.html ).

I think the 40 is the same as the 47 or 45, just a little less hp. Its got plenty of power for me, enough to spin the tires and lift a full scoop of soil.

If I can answer any questions let me know.

I'm still happy with my Boomer 50. Close to 100hrs now. No real downsides yet if you make an honest comparison, $$ against what you get. I had some doubts between the Boomer and a JD 4049 but the NH dealer gave me a far better deal. And the boomer made a narrower turn, quick release bucket and quick release FEL, extra work lights.
