TC34DA with 758C vs Boomer 55 with 935GBH backhoes

[Dave1953]

I have a TC34DA with 14LA loader and 758C backhoe that I bought new in '08 and have a little over 200 hrs on it. last week I ordered and paid a down payment on a brand new Boomer 55 with 260TLA loader , cab and a 935 GBH backhoe. Delivery will be around Oct. as it has to be built at the factory and shipped from Korea. I have compaired the specs on the 2 backhoes and they are very close. They even weigh to the exact pound the same. The 55 has a little higher operating pressure I think and about a GPM more flow than the TC34DA so that should help some. Has anyone had any experience operating the two? There is a 20 HP difference in power ratings plus the cab is gonna make summer and winter operation much better. Again does anyone have experience with the two that can enlighten me of the joys I hope to experience in the 55 ? Nobody in my area even had a Boomer 55 with a cab and my local NH dealer doesn't even have a new Boomer on the lot as they claim most want Workmasters and they claim they can't sell a Boomer. I considered getting one transferred but the couple that were available for transfer had been sitting on the lot for a while. Any input appreciated. :cool2:

My two cents, is NH does a poor job of advertising these tractors. Compact market is pretty solid so why they are not trying to capitalize mystifies me. What they do advertise is the economy Workmaster line and pretty much leave the premium Boomer hanging.

I have the smaller Boomer 40 and have no regrets.
