Hey Dave --
they have been very tight lipped on the price so far (to me anyway). I expect to find out more tomorrow or Thursday at the National Farm Equipment Show in Louisville.
The tractor is pretty cool ... it is easy to drive and has plenty of power on "dry land" but I am curious to see how the CVT transmission holds up with ground-engaging implements ... not that anyone really plows anymore. I think it is cool to see a retro classic tractor though.
Hank, I have fond memories of the old Ford 8N. It became standard issue of the larger than backyard but smaller than commercial gardener. All the implements were mounted and not pulled. It was really cool to pull the plow up or raise the snow blade and hit the gas at the same time to pop a wheelie. Dad just didn't see the fun in that.
This New Holland Boomer seems to be the same size or maybe a little smaller but (in whispering voice) I think it may have been taking some steroids during training. Have they come out with a price list yet?
