I currently owned a NH TC40D and use it to blade my driveway and pull a 72 finish mower. It has 600 hours on it but it doesn稚 have a FEL. So I知 looking to upgrade. I have multiple dealerships within 20 miles and I致e narrowed my possible replacements down to a new New Holland Boomer 40, a Case IH Farmall 35 C with 45 hours or a John Deere 3039R. I知 looking for any pros/cons for these tractors. Parts and service will not be an issue in my area. Thanks.

If you like the New Holland, and you have an LS dealer close, check out the LS XR4140. It's the equivalent to the Boomer 40, and you can get the same options for less money, or more options/implements for the same money.
But, of the three you presented, I like the New Holland. I know they're about the same about charging for their color/label as Deere, but I don't like the plastic, loader attachment system, and other proprietary junk on the Deere. No experience with the newer Case stuff, but there's a few threads around here talking about long wait times on parts, especially during farming season when the guys on $750k machines need help vs you and your $30k machine.
Not sure where you're located, but if you have an LS, kioti, or TYM dealer around, I'd check them out. Lots of folks on the forums for those brands that are extremely pleased with these brands, myself included. I have an LS G3038, the equivalent to a New Holland Workmaster 40.

Why not just upgrading your current tractor with a loader?
If the tractor served you well and you're happy with it, look up that option.
Be aware, no matter which brand on the newer tractors you go with. In that Hp range you'll have to deal with aftertreatment the one way or the other.

I really liked my 2015 Farmall 55C (NH Boomer twin) when it was running. Problem was I couldn't keep it out of the shop. Last trip waited 7 months for a gear. Hopefully they have improved quality or maybe mine was just a fluke. My two prior Case tractors were great. Traded it with less than 400 hours for a Kubota a few months ago.

I don't see the logic in buying a brand that is in reality manufactured by another brand. For instance, why by a NH made by LS when you can get an LS which is better optioned for a lower price. Parts will ultimately come from LS. Many of the smaller JD tractors are only JD in paint. Don't see the point in paying the premium.

There is some truth to it. But consider parts availability. There is a horror story on here. I think the owner had a Case C50?
That horror story was my Case Farmall 55C. Now the owner of a Kubota L6060.

Deere and Kubota are the 500 pound gorillas in the room, the others may come and go. I've had both and very pleased with both. I noticed Bobcat just started up their compact tractor line again after dropping it, maybe that had something to do with Doosan buying Bobcat. The engines in their excavators used to be Kubota, now they are made by Doosan. Just an example of a come and go tractor.
