dealer list, not MSRP
The original Workmaster compact range ends here, still listed at $29,239 in the MY2026 book but overtaken by the Workmaster 40C that New Holland showed in February 2026. Same 1.9-litre LS engine as a Boomer 40 in a plainer, cheaper wrapper.
1.16 PTO hp per $1,000 of list price

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.
Comes with
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
Gathered from owner reports
The most concrete thing in the record is a price check, and owners agreed on it: a 2017 example with 600 hours bundled with a box blade, forks, bucket and a 7-foot finish mower at $25,000 drew responses calling it a good to great deal, and a decent fit for a buyer with 80 acres who was leasing out the hay ground and mostly needed to maintain woods, a driveway and a building site. The advice that came with it is worth as much as the verdict: swap the finish mower for a brush hog if the work is forestry and trail cutting, a 7-foot box blade makes putting in and maintaining a driveway straightforward, pallet forks earn their keep during construction, and four-wheel drive is non-negotiable for mud and logs. One responder added the honest caveat that a skid steer would be the better tool for much of that work, and is also far more expensive. A hobby-farm couple three years into ownership report being pretty happy, rate the loader as extremely useful, and say the frame-mounted backhoe attachment they added gets used a good deal.
The maintenance picture comes largely from one new owner working through a tractor he inherited, and the practical points are the ones another owner gave him: it has a great many grease points and a grease gun is the first purchase, the air filter gets dirty quickly, and the oil is worth changing annually. Mechanically the only breakage reported is a rod that holds the hydraulic arm to the loader, which snapped while the owner was moving dirt. The other recurring issue is electrical rather than structural - one owner chased a battery that would hold a charge overnight only to be flat again after a short run, leaving him unsure whether the battery, starter or charging system was at fault.
Summarised from public owner discussion, not from testing. Nothing here was measured by this site, and a report that recurs is not the same as a defect rate.

New Holland
An LS-built three-cylinder on New Holland's compact frame, sold with either a 12x12 synchronized shuttle or hydrostatic drive. The 35C has since taken over with a cab-capable chassis, but the older 25/35/40 series page is still up alongside it.
Spec sheet & owner notesNew Holland
The one Boomer still built on the smaller 12x12 frame: 1,808 lb at the ball ends against 2,756 lb from the 45 up. The $32,551 list is the ROPS synchro-shuttle; hydrostatic adds $2,405 and there is no cab at this hp point.

Same chassis, same 2,870 lb and the same 250TLA loader as the Boomer 35, with 5 more engine hp and 4.3 more at the PTO for $2,562. It is also the smallest Boomer offered with a factory cab, at $43,128 and 3,574 lb.
