New Holland Boomer 55
Compact
55 hp engine · 46.7 PTO−15% to the shaft

Top of the Boomer range and the point where the compact frame is fully loaded: 55 hp and 46.7 at the PTO on the same 3,490 lb chassis, 2,756 lb hitch and 260TLA loader the Boomer 45 carries. At $49,983 ROPS it prices against ROPS utility tractors that lift far more.

On the price: This maker publishes no price, so the figure comes from dealer listings. Regional dealers price the same machine differently.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

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
  • 46.7 PTO hp is the most on offer in the Boomer line and covers a 7 ft flail or a small square baler
  • Same 2,756 lb hitch, 260TLA loader and 16x16 shuttle as the Boomer 45, so nothing about the machine is a special-order variant
  • 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
  • Compact-frame dimensions with utility-class PTO output, which matters where a Workmaster 55 simply will not fit

What they complain about

  • $49,983 for a ROPS compact puts it within a few thousand of utility tractors with a 3,500 lb hitch and 12.6 GPM of flow
  • Hydraulics and hitch are unchanged from the 45 hp model, so the extra 8.5 PTO hp has nowhere to go but the PTO shaft
  • The 3,490 lb tractor still carries only 10.5 gal, the same tank fitted to the 35 hp Boomer
  • Cab version at $57,998 costs more than several ROPS utility tractors in the 65-75 hp class

Middle of the big-frame Boomers and the one that changes nothing but the fuel map: 3,490 lb, 16x16 shuttle, 260TLA loader and a 2,756 lb hitch are all identical to the Boomer 45. You are paying about $4,162 for 4.3 PTO hp.

The step in the Boomer range where the frame actually changes: 16x16 shuttle instead of 12x12, 2,756 lb at the ball ends instead of 1,808, the bigger 260TLA loader and 620 lb more tractor. That is what the roughly $6,700 over a Boomer 40 buys.
