Price Check New Boomer 8N Price?

What you need to look at is how many cows or bushels of grain you would need to sell to buy that tractor then and its equivalent today.

Agreed. However a true comparison can't be made until around 2068, when you know how many of the 2009 units are still around.

I just looked up some statistics.

Average income in 1948 was $3200

Average income in 2006 was $42,800.

So in 1948 with an average income I could buy just over 4, 8N's.
With an average income in 2006 ( most recent info available in the source I found) I could buy just over 1 Boomer.

Amen, Tom.

Income, property & state taxes were lower relative to income, too. I'll dies with a mortgage, I bet our kids will never have a chance of owning their homes before they die, either.

A Boomer 8N with loader was in a NH dealer's dispaly at the WV State Fair in Lewisburg, WV, in August. Dealer had $39,250 on it. It had all of the chrome/stainless accessories on it though.

Sounds kind of pricey. I wonder if they re going to sell many of them. I'm going to say probably not.

I agree with you -- my thoughts exactly when I looked one over at a recent show.

I t has more than double the HP at around 50 HP if I remember correctly. But likely wont be around long at that price. Maybe they will be collectible tractors. Perhaps Jay Leno will start a tractor collection to go with his cars and motorcycles.

THE BOOMER THAT I SAW AND SAT ON IS 4 TIMES THE TRACTOR OF A 8N AT $36000.00. SO IT IS WORTH $9000.00

They are a novelty not a practical tractor.
