Beauty contest

[Blackberry1]

All right. I've been researching compact tractors for several months now and have decided I could be happy with a JD 4700, Kubota 4610 or a NH45D. Any of these tractors would do any of the tasks I would need it to perform. To be honest even if the prices were identical on all three tractors and the Kubota and John Deere had a slight advantage in power or ease of operation in any way I would probably pick the Boomer because it is just so good looking! Am I being too shallow? Assuming performance is equal on all 3 tractors and you were forced to choose on appearances alone, which tractor would win the beauty contest?

Well Blackberry1, I originally started looking at tractors, because of seeing a NH Boomer ad. I knew before that I needed a bigger tractor than my WH 16hp lawn tractor, and Craftsman 18hp. When I started looking NH was the first place that I went. Although it wasn't the only place that I looked , it was the last. Bought the TC21D a couple of weeks ago, not only on looks, but on reputation, and specs. My vote was NH.

I have a Kubota because I like the feel and operation better, but on appearance alone, I think the New Hollands are the best looking.

David -

Although I bought <font color=orange>orange</font color=orange>, I had narrowed my search down to Kubota and New Holland. I don't think you can beat the looks and ergonomics of the modern Boomers.

Ya just gotta get what makes you feel good.

Once you've determined the performance and features you want, there's nothing wrong with relying on subjective attributes. You'll probably be a happier owner in the end for it /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Blackberry1:Would the judging be based on the looks of the tractor itself? Or with the tractor's owner in the seat?!

Good question. I'm not sure if the best looking tractor made would win any beauty contests with me on it. To be fair, all judgments should be on the beauty of the machine itself. It might be fun to see pictures of some of the owners with their nomination for beauty queen. All decked out of course.

Hate to admit it /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif but NH for all around looks. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif
