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

They're really cool.

Ain't inflation grand, I think my 8N was about $750 new in 1948.

And my Mom's 850 square foot brick bungalow with full basement was $11,600 in 1956.

My parents bought 31 acres and house for $3500 in 1951.

Heck, in 1965 I bought a 1949 Farmall Cub (4 cylinder) with hydraulics from a dealer, plus right/left plows, row cultivators, spring tooth harrow, new belly mower, and new front mount snow plow all for $900. The tractor and all equipment were in excellent condition.
That was back when a dollar was worth a dollar and average wages were a whole lot less. Thought if I ever earned $100/week I'd have it made.

I remember in 1967 my old man paying $2,400 bucks for a new IH 1300 4x4 one ton V-8 pickup.

What you need to look at is how many cows or bushels of grain you would need to sell to buy that tractor then and its equivalent today.

Agreed. However a true comparison can't be made until around 2068, when you know how many of the 2009 units are still around.

I just looked up some statistics.

Average income in 1948 was $3200

Average income in 2006 was $42,800.

So in 1948 with an average income I could buy just over 4, 8N's.
With an average income in 2006 ( most recent info available in the source I found) I could buy just over 1 Boomer.

Amen, Tom.

Income, property & state taxes were lower relative to income, too. I'll dies with a mortgage, I bet our kids will never have a chance of owning their homes before they die, either.

Sounds kind of pricey. I wonder if they re going to sell many of them. I'm going to say probably not.

I agree with you -- my thoughts exactly when I looked one over at a recent show.

 

[Gary Fowler]

I t has more than double the HP at around 50 HP if I remember correctly. But likely wont be around long at that price. Maybe they will be collectible tractors. Perhaps Jay Leno will start a tractor collection to go with his cars and motorcycles.

 

[windy acers]

THE BOOMER THAT I SAW AND SAT ON IS 4 TIMES THE TRACTOR OF A 8N AT $36000.00. SO IT IS WORTH $9000.00

They are a novelty not a practical tractor.
