Hello everyone, only my second post but have been lurking here for a couple months learning from your posts.
I am getting ready to purchase my first tractor, and since I am a Chrysler Employee I can purchase Case IH products at dealer net, so I am looking hard at Farmall and New Holland. I have been in contact with both the local Farmall dealer and the New Holland dealer.
I did get a quote on a New Holland Boomer 40 with FEL & Backhoe, but there was no option to get a cab which is a must for me for winter snow removal but the quote was quite attractive.
Then I started seeing some information about new CVT tractors with Cabs coming, checked with the dealers and they knew little and could not get pricing, Case even has brochures and pictures on their website but the dealer cannot get pricing, so I started poking around CNH with emails and finally got a response today. The new tractors are on the ground in the US, but won't be released for 2 more weeks. Pricing will be available 09/24/12, this came from the Director of Sales at CNH.
So I followed up with a call to my NH dealer and asked him about a press release from Aug 28 for a new CVT Boomer with a "Super Suite" Cab, he checked into it and those tractors are being released / pricing released in two weeks, coincidence?
I don't think so, but now I am wondering, is it the same tractor from Shibaura just one is red and the other is blue?
Chances are I am going to have to order one based on specs and sight unseen, as I need to take delivery before the end of October, and this makes me nervous after reading some of the stories of the LS New Hollands...worse yet is that this will be my first tractor and I don't want to screw up and get the wrong options.
