Price Check New Boomer 8N Price?

[irwin]

It's a real pretty machine, no doubt about it. I'd be more concerned about getting it ding'd up than I am with the machines I have.. almost too goodlooking to use. However if I had the funds and a big lawn.. maybe I'd feel okay pulling a 3pt mower around.

I have woods and rocks..almost a sin to use my own equipment here..

So far the 8N's seem to be selling beyond most everyones expectations.

Neil, have you delivered any of the B-8Ns? I've not seen even a single one around here.

Low 30's with a loader, depending on how equiped.

That's what I understand the price range is from a local dealer and considering that Messick's IS a NH dealer, I'd say, then, that this is the correct price range: Low $30's. Any other price is a price with a "premium " added to it.

Considering that it is 50hp and with a very advanced CVT transmission and is a "special edition", the price is NOT horrible compared to what's out there.

I'm not going to buy one, but I have to say that it is an eyecatching piece of equipment. If I did order one, I would not order all the chrome.

If I'm going to pay close to $40k for a tractor, it will have a cab with heat and A/C.

I really wanted to buy one but they said no cab was available, so i bought a L5240 instead which i love but the 8n sure is classy looking

A cab on an 8N?? Blasphemy!!

I think a premium of a few thousand dollars on a new model with these features and the novelty factor is not out of line. Of course....if Neil had said "the high twenties".....it would be a bit easier to swallow.

Still.....in twenty + years or so...these 8n's may still command a premium compared to other similar size models.

If they bring out a Jubilee.....I just may have to climb aboard. Maybe they could offer a cab on a Jubilee.

Maybe massey ferguson should build a "new" TO30 to compete with the 8n boomer!

I was watching a best of 'Top Gear' compilation show tonight and one episode concerned the Lamborghini Murcielago roadster. For about $250,000 this super-car included a removable top stowed in the front trunk for unexpected rain storms. It took the host and a couple of Spanish locals 20+ minutes to kinda-sorta get the top on. As the show's host remarked, "Great Italian supercar with a top that is rubbish."

I'll take comfort and convenience first, nostalgia second.

I was in my local NH dealer yesterday and asked if they had sold or received any of the Boomer 8Ns. They told me they had not and were expecting them in about 1 month. They did point to the shelf with toy tractors and tell me that they had plenty of the ERTL models for sale.
