Just curious how many folks on here have a BOOMER 45,50,55? I have a few questions, if anyone on here has answers;
1. I know that it has been said that LS builds this tractor for New Holland but is the New Holland version more ergonomic, stronger loader, different frame, etc.?
2. Is the cab on a New Holland going to be a higher quality?
3. Even though LS builds the tractor, is it built to New Holland standards?
4. Back in the early to mid 2000's, New Holland compact tractors were more popular than today. My New Holland TC40 is Shibaura built not LS built. Is this a factor today?
5. I know around Virginia, several New Holland dealers have stopped carrying them. I know there is still one left in Orange county VA. Is New Holland just not as big in VA vs other states?
Overall, is this tractor on par with Kubota, John Deere, Kioti, Massey, etc.? Just wondering why the Boomer series is rarely discussed or brought up on here as a recommendation.
