I now have 225 hrs on my Boomer 55. Last year I used Shell Rotella T6 0W-40 full syn oil instead of the Ambra to save a little cash. It is rated very highly. Last month when I went to change my oil I couldn't find ant Rotella. One store finally told me that it was backordered to atleast March...

I also have a 2019 Boomer 55 with 260TLA and Woods BH100 (10' backhoe). All together it weighs about 8500 lbs. I've never had a problem with a tree (12" - 30" diameter) using the weight of the tractor pulling trees over. I attach ropes and straps all being at least 30,000 lbs tensile strength...

How you liking your Xtreme Root Rake. I have the same hp and size tractor as you do and really like the look of that grapple. Everyone keeps saying get the 60" Wicked instead because of the AR450 steel (as opposed to the A572 steel of the Xtreme). Even the rep on the phone at EA suggested the...

I ran my hoses from rear remotes to loader cross tube where I mounted a bracket to connect my grapple or snow plow. My hoses are about 48-50" long from bracket to implement. I drilled and screwed my bracket to large cross tube. Hope this helps.

I can't find any pictures or owner comments on the EA XTREME Root Rake Grapple on TractorByNet. The only info I van find is on EA website and a few posts they've put on here. I'm leaning towards the Xtreme Root Rake Grapple over the 60" Wicked Root Grapple, but want to know how it's holding up...

My local dealer has in stock a 60" Bradco #109982 (now owned by Paladin) Root Rake for $2495. The EA Xtreme Root Rake (which is a copy of the Bradco with a few upgrades) is $3112.85 and almost a 20 week wait. I have a New Holland Boomer 55 Cab. I got into some trouble being too aggressive with a...

My 2019 Boomer 55 has regen 4 times. Each at somewhere between 45-50 hours. It's done it in the winter when plowing snow or summer when using the loader. I run it normally between 2000-2300 rpms. When the regen comes on I just keep on working. If I feel I need more power while its happening I...

Anyone run chains on Boomer 55. Looking at buying one and want to know beforehand whether I'll need spacers. Or if they hit the top of the wheel well. Loaded up the rear tires would be about 700 lbs. so I'd have the dealer install the spacers before pu instead of trying to man handle 700 lbs...

In the market for a set of QA Pallet Forks. Have a Boomer 37 Cab with 37 hp. It has 250TLA loader which lifts 1818 lbs max ht. @ pins and 1221 or 1354 (New Holland or Tractor Data) max ht. @ 19.7". Considering 2 different models. Everything Attachments Class I 1 x...

I am posting this in the LS section because you guys are a lot more helpful and knowledgeable. Also because you all know that my new Boomer 37 Cab is really a LS XR3037HC. To the point, the distance between the inner metal fender wall and the side wall of the turf tire is just over 1 3/8". My...

After talking with all of you I was convinced I was going to buy a XR3135HC. But last minute increase in price by the LS dealer (who's over 1 1/2 hrs away) and my 15 minute away New Holland dealer dropping his price, including rear wiper and work lights plus a trade in $1500 higher - I bought a...

I mow 1-2 acres with my Boomer 35 pulling a Woods 6' finished mower. My tractor weighs about 5500 lbs. I have turf tires and it's a hst. Want to buy a cab tractor now and I'm considering hard the LS XR3135HC. I also like the LS XR4140HC (both tractors with HST and Turf Tires) for it's increased...

DOES ANYONE OWN A BOOMER 33 or 37??? Own a Boomer 35 HST open platform and like it very much. Now I want too get a Cab, so I'm looking at the new Boomer 37 Cab. Just would like some feedback good or bad about the Boomer 33 or 37, open platform or cab model. Thanks

The front turf tires look silly on the big tractors. They are only 28 x 8.5 - 15 with a 1320 lbs. rating. They look way too small. No one else puts that small a turf on the front of a 40 hp tractor.

Been looking hard at all brands of tractors and have cut it down to LS and New Holland (because I own one and like it). Want a cab now for cold New England winters. Looking for 35 - 39 hp, cab, hst, rear remote, lights and wipers. LS XR3037HC - $26,900 LS XR3135HC - $28,600 ( plus radio...
