BUTT-UGLY BOOMERS!

Even though I like the design, I know there are quite a few who don't. Maybe NH did it to boost sales of the new Farmalls? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Personally, I haven't seen a new farmall. However, I am reasonably sure that Raymond Lowey didn't have any say in their design.

I know, who is Raymond Lowey?

If you collect vintage Farmalls, you know who R. Lowey is.

The last Farmall I looked at was at a farm show about 6 years ago. It was a cultivator tractor much like the 1941 A that I restored some time ago and then consequently sold. The major difference was that it was a diesel and the build plate said "Made in Japan". While that's not all bad, I would think that Mr. Lowey might turn over in his grave if he saw the build plate.

I always enjoyed running the offset "A". You have an exceptionally good view of your implement as well as what is in front of your tractor.

Raymond Lowey also designed the world's most innovative car . . . the AVANTI.

At least NH is going ahead across the board with the Montgomery concept looks. They all look better than the 8020 Deere which has to be the ugliest tractor known to anyone in the universe!! CIH should soon be do for an update. Their corporate look dates back to the mid- late 90s and the MX series of tractors. It looked good for it's day,but is now getting a little long-in-tooth.......

Personally. I hurried up and purchased a "03" Boomer before they ran out of them. Its not the change in the lights that I didn't care for it was the new decals that they are using. Bought a "03" TC40D and they put on a "04" 16LA loader on it. The new loader has the new style decals on it. Oh well, I'm getting used to it.

Sure don't look like my 1941 A. Probably wasn't made in the Land of Lincoln either??

Indeed they are ugly. Personally, I don't care for styling on a tractor since it makes it look weak and civilized, like us. Leave it to massey to produce new square blocky tractors like the 400 series. As for compacts, I still don't feel the need to style it like an Infinity when it is more likely to end up hauling clay, rocks and garbage.

I have not checked, but have been told they do not. They were ugly at first but like other things you get used to it.
