A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
What owners of each one say
New Holland Boomer 35
What they like
- The 1.9-litre LS L32L19 is turbocharged and common-rail at every hp point in the series, so the small end is not a detuned naturally aspirated engine
- Cheapest way into the Boomer line by roughly $2,500 against the Boomer 40, which shares its chassis and weight exactly
- Boomer Guard-6 runs 24 months or 750 hours bumper-to-bumper before the powertrain cover carries on to 72 months or 1,500 hours
- The synchro shuttle is the no-charge transmission, so the list price is a real shuttle tractor rather than a stripped gear box
- 8.2 GPM on a dedicated implement pump, with steering fed from its own gear pump so loader speed does not fall away at full lock
What they complain about
- 1,808 lb of 3-point lift at the ball ends is the series floor - the 45 and up lift 2,756 lb on the same family of implements
- No cab is offered at 35 hp, so winter work means the ROPS and a jacket
- Cruise control comes only with the $2,405 hydrostatic option; the shuttle tractor has none
- The 250TLA tops out at 104 in. to the pivot pin, which is short for loading a tall trailer
- Identical 2,870 lb ROPS weight to the Boomer 40 means no extra ballast advantage for the money saved
New Holland Boomer 40
What they like
- The 1.9-litre LS L32L19 is turbocharged and common-rail at every hp point in the series, so the small end is not a detuned naturally aspirated engine
- 34 PTO hp on the shuttle is enough for a 6 ft rotary cutter without the engine falling on its face
- The cheapest Boomer you can order with a factory cab, air conditioning and a heater rather than retrofitting one
- Boomer Guard-6 runs 24 months or 750 hours bumper-to-bumper before the powertrain cover carries on to 72 months or 1,500 hours
- Costs only about $2,562 more than the Boomer 35 while adding 4.3 PTO hp on identical iron
- Dual gear pumps keep 8.2 GPM at the implement circuit while steering draws from its own supply
What they complain about
- Still on the small 1,808 lb hitch despite 40 hp, so the engine outruns what the 3-point can pick up
- The cab version jumps to $43,128 and 3,574 lb - about a 23% premium over the ROPS machine
- Cab models carry only 12.4 gal of fuel against 10.5 on the ROPS, so the enclosed tractor gains very little range
- Cruise control is tied to the hydrostatic option, not standard on the shuttle
