NH Boomer 50 or Solis 50. Opinions and experiences kindly appreciated 👍

[TedOfTheLowerMeadow]

So.
Both new.
No cab.
Front loader

Solis 50 with loader & NO attachments = 26k +tax

Boomer 50, MX c4 loader + new bucket + new pallet tines = 30k plus tax.

Use?
Small holding. General yard duties. Hopefully haymaking as I'm an absolute fool for headaches .

Why new? All being well will be looking to keep it forever. Can put thru business so tax write off.


Don't know the solis seller/dealer.
Nh seller, Know well & trust.

Tried a NH boomer 25 this spring and really liked it.. Will hold money better than Solis but if keeping forever isn’t relevant..

Good dealer? You’ve answered your own question.

Yeh. The price is top close to NOT go with the deal we know.

If it were like 10k difference.... then maybe...

In time Solis may turn out to be a proven product but as it stands at the moment they aren’t really comparable.
However for my money an iseki or kioti would another step up from a boomer

 

[Wellytrack]

Your choice but I’d suggest you could spend 30 grand and have a good time with it too.

Aye. Prices for iseki and kioti supercede the boomer by a strong distance.

Its like the difference between a Ford transit van and a Volkswagen transporter...

Yes but the Iseki WILL last forever. They are very well built , strong tractors. And utterly reliable .

One is overpriced, cramped, lacks load space and has been left behind with its ancient design....the other is a Ford.

It's funny. Coz it's true

It used to be that the Solis tractors had manual gears only. I would have thought that the Boomer models would be available with hydrostatic transmissions, which are much nicer to drive. I have a hydrostatic 48hp Kubota and I love it. Have you looked at Kubotas? A lot depends on the dealers that are in your area.

 

[fergie35]

what warranty does the Solis have? Boomers have 2 years as standard and 0% finance at the moment over a few years (if thats required).

 

[TedOfTheLowerMeadow]

Aye. We'll put it thru the business. 10% down. And then 60 monthly.


Adding into the mix.... kioti have offered a 45hp... hst and loader @ 27.5K. THAT comes with 5 yrs warranty... parts and labour.

I would think kioti would be the pick of the bunch

I’d go kioti in a heartbeat

I’d go kioti in a heartbeat

What makes you say that ?

 

[Wellytrack]

Can I ask a question? Why no Cab?

 

[Dave W]

What makes you say that ?

Build quality mostly.
I’ve owned and operated most makes. Iseki are the rolls Royce but kioti are a very close second.
Kubota are still a very good product but not what they were 10 years ago.
Deere are good but the lift capacity on link arms is pathetic.

My mates iseki fleet I drive occasionally

 

[TedOfTheLowerMeadow]

Can I ask a question? Why no Cab?

We have woodland.

Plus during winter it'll have little use.

Plus it's got a covered place to live.

What's your experience to say that ?

Thanks.

I don't think that I've ever seen a Kioti in the metal. I looked up the dealersip map on the Kioti website. I'm in the middle of an area where the nearest one to me is at least 30 miles away and most 40 or more in all directions. It's no wonder that I've never seen one.
