Boomer 35---Workhorse
Model Year: 2004
Upgraded from a Cub 154 LoBoy for working around a three acre parcel on which I plan to build. Neighbor had blasted out a pile of ledge for their new construction and offered the fill to me before he paid someone to remove it. By the end of that summer, we had moved nearly 300 yards of granite---one bucket load at a time---about 1/4 mile. Made a terrific base for the driveway! Huge April storm ripped up hundreds of red spruce trees in the neighborhood, some nearly 30 inches at base. Boomer controlled the felling where needed and with long chain and cables, yarded out most of the trunks. Cut tree length in the woods, recut to 20 feet at roadside. Forks on a compact tractor are definitely worth the investment. Had no trouble loading two foot diameter, twenty foot long lumber. Added a 6 inch Patu PTO chipper along the way, not used much, but what a job it does when it is spinning. Yes, like all tractor owners, I've lifted the front and rear ends off the ground a few times, but the tractor is stable, powerful and fuel efficient. Wife says when I'm finished with the tractor we can sell it---she figures we can get at least half what we paid. And I'll be done with it the same day I stop breathing!
Pros: Power, standard implement attachment, fuel economy.
Cons: Lift limit less than two ton.
