"Changing the gear speed with the left hand lever is sometime difficult. Also changing from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive. Other than those two items, the tractor has performed very well. I really like the safety features, i.e. come off the seat and the tractor turns off; the roll bar, hydro-static drive (when your foot comes off the pedal, the tractor stops). My grandfather was killed when his tractor rolled on him. Safety is important."

"I shopped locally only and narrowed my choices to Kubota and NH based on what was available. I chose the NH based on ergonomics, features, reputation of the machine and the dealer and value. I don't think I erred. The Boomer has been very reliable and easy to use so far.It came with a FEL and I added a Landpride bush hog. The purchase with no down payment and no interest for 5 yrs. is hard to beat. And, I'm partial to blue."
