New Holland Boomer 55 | Deluxe vs Economy Tractors

[@Milfordbeach]

I appreciate the way Neil mentions some of the "cons." He comes across less like a salesman and more like a tractor aficionado.

[@TheWhitetailrancher]

Alright buddy, now I can say that I have seen a "New Holland" video! Good for you my friend!

[@DG38594]

I owned a boomer 50. Great little tractor, had zero issues. Loved the tight turning radius on it and easy to use. I sold it and bought a JD 5 series because I needed a heavier tractor.

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Thanks Neil. Always appreciate your straightforward presentation style. Hard to find any close to current reviews on the Boomer 55. Glad you took the time to put this together. Very helpful to my decision process. Still waiting for Messick’s to open a dealership in Wisconsin’s North Woods. Seriously, the dealer makes all the difference.

[@blessed7fold]

Neil this I believe is the best video you have ever done. It was so good in it's presentation and detail that it could pass as a sales training video for dealers.

[@MessicksEquip]

Very, very many dealers use my videos for training. Some of the manufacturers do as well.

[@blessed7fold]

@@MessicksEquip Neil does the manufacturers not put out their own dealer training videos?

Excellent video. I like your straight forward appraisal of the New Holland. The market for this size tractor is very competitive and buyers appreciate honest and informative reviews. Thank you for this.

[@dennisschuitema15]

Great video Neil! One other difference between the premium and standard compact tractors for New Holland/LS is the location of the fuel tank filler. On the premium tractors, it's right about platform height, on the standard models, the filler neck is about even with the top of the seat back. Probably not important if you can pull up to a fuel pump, but if you use 5 gallon fuel containers, it's awkward to hold the container that high.

[@jhomrich89]

Neil from Messicks the Doug Demuro of tractors and implements love it

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Excellent, honest, and thorough review Neil! As always, you do a phenomenal job of presenting the facts and features that the customer will be facing with that machine. 👍💪

Hi Neil, Excellent review of the NH Tractor. We have been running the Bummer 45 with the cab, for a few years and really enjoy its performance. Ours was used w/18hrs and did get a Great Deal on it…God Bless..Stay Safe..Chief…{NYS/ADK}

[@MrManic52001]

I love the HP/size of that tractor. I could totally see a brush grinder and stump grinder for light/med land clearing.

[@cableguy43309]

New shop looks great, HUGE !!!

[@pyroman6000]

It might be just a trick of perspective, but it always strikes me how far the loader sticks out in front of these New Holland tractors. That's one hell of a swing when turning sharply!

[@profdave2861]

I don’t think it’s perspective. The compact New Holland tractors are known for having the loaders stick out more than others. That said, this one seems to take that to a new level - it’s WAY out there!!

[@bencarroll7940]

It’s to add more lift height when raised.

[@ShaneOliverOTB]

That was an excellent, informative video, thanks.

[@islandfish1094]

Neil I really liked how you drove through the yard it was nice seeing some of your current inventory I know you have shown some of your inventory in the past You might want to make a few more videos of this to show that you guys have some tractors and equipment because a ton of dealers might only have a couple tractors if any

[@MessicksEquip]

Once its not 20 degrees. :-)

[@jimwilloughby]

@@MessicksEquip Hehehehehehehe.

[@SawmillerSmith]

In 1996 I bought a new Holland before anyone knew much about them. Many said I should of got a John Deere. I looked at John deere and they were smaller and cost more. I used that new Holland for years and those that told me to buy a John Deere ended up buying new Holland. I sold my new Holland when it had 5000 hours and I never had to replace any parts. Not even the battery.

[@Aprons.Overalls]

I watch to much meme content. When I hear "Boomer", I think of something entirely different than tractors! Great video, Neil!

You have a garage door! I was waiting to see the big barn doors the builder put on temporarily.

[@timberhitchllc]

Absolutely love my TC34DA Boomer and wouldn't trade it for anything!

[@madtater5948]

here in Southern California I have to clean the air filter out daily everything is so dusty here

[@bladewiper]

I like it. Like you say there is good and bad to it. I like the class 1 ends and the extra room at the front of the floor, is a good place for a saw, chains, tools, etc. Is there a tool box ? Will the bottom draw bar take a 1' pin ? I noticed it is the same as Kubota, it has a lot of open holes in the consoles for options, it would be nice if they would make blanking plates for them. I like the fuel fill location, J.D. has it up on the rear fender.

[@graydonturner]

Hasn't changed a wink in at least 8 years. Definitely prefer my Woods loader over that one.

[@MessicksEquip]

Woods stopped building loaders unfortunately. Too bad, we used a few every year.

[@Fjarninger]

2021 Kubota showed the new L1 and L2 series in Europe. Will we see some of them on your channel in the future?

[@MessicksEquip]

I'm in the USA, so no.

[@Fjarninger]

​@@MessicksEquip Dang it! USA has the "grand" L Series only and Europe has the L1 and L2 series only. Maybe it has something to do wirth the exhaust emission standard. Thank you :-)

Don't forget to measure where you will store your tractor since the loader is longer.

[@golfy808]

The horn button location turned me off...I use the horn sooo often

[@johntheaccountant5594]

I recall that the New Holland compact tractor is actually owned by FIAT of Italy and very poor quality. They might be cheaper than a Kubota but they will fall apart fast compared to the Kubota. I say that from having a look at them in Thailand against the Kubota, John Deer and Yanmar. There are plenty of tractors of the similar size in Thailand. I opted for the Kubota L5018 with 50 bhp for US$18,2000. You pay extra for a loader and the Kubota is a lot stronger bucket and arm than on the New Holland. Not many use a loader in Thailand, we use a bulldozer front for clearing out fields and levelling the ground.

[@jaxturner7288]

Your in Thailand? That seems cool, is it?

[@mesh1248]

The question is what one do u like better and prefer to sell this new Holland or the equivalent kabota?

[@BeingMe23]

No have you considered selling the LS version?

[@MessicksEquip]

No. Providing support, parts, quality financing is huge for us. We appreciate the support we get from New Holland.

[@crookedrowfarm6100]

Are the rear fenders Metal or Plastic ? We have a CNH D45 with broken plastic rear fenders. I'm pretty confident we won't be buying another Plastic fendered tractor.

[@andrewslagle1974]

I like metal also hood ,fenders etc!

[@larryhasard3989]

Fenders and hood are steel. The curved nose piece of the hood is plastic, surrounding a metal grill. I have a Boomer 45, which is the same frame size, as the 55. With loaded rear tires, you can pick a heaped loader bucket of dirt, rocks, manure, etc to full height. The extra reach is very handy with forks on the front.

[@VideosByAl]

@@larryhasard3989 I'll have to see if I can find some metal Boomer fenders for our tractor. Then repaint them red. Thanks for the reply.

What comparable models in Green and Orange does this one compare to? I assume there is also a Cab version?

[@MessicksEquip]

not a direct equal with Kubota. Probably an L4701. Not sure on Deere.

[@jimwilloughby]

I'm old school, so I don't like the length of the machine caused by those sweeping loader arms which provide greater lifting height, and while I get the reason for the look of them, to me they look flimsy. I do like the beefy torque box between the two arms however. I also like the easily adjustable anti-sway bars for the three point, and how strong they look. The hump in the middle of the floor of the operators area can be solve with a second floormat or a piece of plywood put underneath it, so that's a minor problem for us old geezers. The horn has got to go . That thing sounds like it came out of a VW Beetle. It should be replaced with one that sounds like it belongs on a tractor, or a good sized truck.

[@aaronspicer949]

Next time they could try and get the end of the loader in the same zip code as the tractor 🤣

Messicks selling New Holland tractors and other equipment isn't new to them. They aren't strictly a Kubota dealer, but they might sell more of them or have their own preference for them as they do a lot of Kubota videos.

[@paullambert2668]

I think Messicks have been selling New Holland for quite a while. It's just that Neil is primarily the Kubota guy. I presume the New Holland guy doesn't like making videos as much as Neil does.

[@MessicksEquip]

This is correct. Kubota is my day-to-day responsibility. My cousin who handles New Holland, doesn't do videos. I try to squeeze in as many as I can manage.
