New Holland Boomer 8N

The New Holland Boomer 8N A Legend Reborn!

    

Out here, there’s no such thing as the corner office.  And all the views are scenic.  To say you enjoy working outdoors would be an understatement.  The warm sun upon your face; the rich smell of soil filling your lungs; the satisfaction of using your hands to get a job done.  The outdoors life is the life for you. 
     The call of the land has enchanted you for as long as you can remember, compelling you to stake out a piece for yourself.  No stronger connection to the earth exists than when you work it, eat and drink from it.  It’s the life you’ve always wanted. 
     Now, you can work the land with a proven partner that embodies the spirit of rural America and richness of life you strive for.  We’ve revived the classic 8N tractor into a newer, more powerful form that brings what you love about farming into te 21st Century.
     No tractor is more iconic or enduring than the classic 8N. It’s the tractor many people have memories of first riding at their parents’ or grandparents’ farm and decades later still recall fondly.

True to its Roots

     Introduced in 1947, the original 8N earned the nickname “Red Belly” from the dark red color of its cast iron chassis.
     Originally designed to replace draft animals that worked the land before World War II, the origina 8N’s power take-off, 3-point hydraulic system and draft control design helped revolutionize the way farming was done.  It was more practical for everyday farm use and let farmers tackle any job, both big and small.
     By 1952, more than half a million original 8N tractors were produced – and today, more than 50% of them still remain.  The original 8N took the industry by storm with one of the most significant advances in tractor design and has claimed its place in history, and in people’s hearts.

Remaking History, Redesigning a Legend!

     When New Holland’s designers and engineers began working on te Boomer 8N, they set out to make a tractor that would be unequalled in durability, comfort, and style.  Since their primary passion was for the Boomer 8N to retain its hardworking history, they drew inspiration from the original form and affection people felt and still had for those old 8N’s.
     Long ago advertised as the tractor that was “easy to operate,”  the engineers made sure the updated version is just as easy to love.  That’s why the new Boomer 8N delivers everything you could demand from a tractor, plus a few innovations you should.

Evolution Outside, Revolution Inside

     The Boomer 8N has undergone a modern makeover.  Now, it’s more than just a machine.  The grill has a face that’s almost human.  It’s familiar and full of so much personality, that it’s bound to become your new best friend.  
     The color scheme of the original 8N was also thoughtfully revived.  Since the days of “Red Belly,” color has played an important role in the design of the Boomer 8N.  Using two colors on the tractor was a completely unique approach in its time.  It was part of Red Belly’s popularity, and we’ve reworked it to appeal to a whole new generation of Boomer 8N owners.
     Rich, bold red separates the workhorse part of the Boomer 8N, while a sleek and stylish light gray covers the grill, hood and fenders.  It’s a color combination that is part of the Boomer legacy and carries just as much impact today.

Light Speed Ahead

     Once you operate the new Boomer 8N, you’ll see how the headlights do more than just look good.  Designed with the perfect fusion of form and function, twin teardrop-shaped headlights have been sculpted into the hood.  There’s no extraneous part to distract you from what’s in front of  you.  And it gives you a stronger, sturdier light source, so you can see from dusk-to-dawn and make better use of your time.   
     You wouldn’t think that a yacht could influence the look of a tractor.  But sometimes, inspiration comes from unexpected places.  When New Holland designers began working on the control panel, the sleek and streamlined shape of modern yachts was inspiration for the wraparound hood visor.
     Another unexpected influence affected the Boomer 8N’s windshield.  Its primary purpose is to provide you with protection from rocks, bugs and flying debris.  So, it’s not surprising the windshield was fashioned after a police shield, the quintessential symbol of “to serve and protect.”
     Rounding off this revolutionary new look are chrome accents on the dashboard display that were inspired by motorcycle dials.  It’s analog, with just the right touch of vintage.

Hot Seat

     Sizzling hot in the summer.  Freezing cold in the winter.  Spend the good part of your day on a tractor seat and you’ll soon appreciate the hours and hours the engineers spent working on the Boomer 8N seat.
     Reminiscent of the original pan-style metal seat, the new padded seat is fully adjustable and ergonomic. The soft foam maximizes your comfort and takes the edge off as you take on curves and corners.  And the holes add an aesthetic touch that also allows your body to breathe. 

Retro Active

     Even on  your best days, working the land can be a challenge.  And that’s exactly why we made the Boomer 8N, not only easy to operate but also fun to drive.  With its EasyDrive™ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), there’s no need to shift gears or use a clutch - just engage a single shuttle lever and press the pedal to make it go.
     The EasyDriveCVT is quiet, efficient, and provides smooth, seamless speed progressions with a top speed of 18.6 mph (30kph).  You can set the cruise control on-the-go so you don’t have to keep your foot on the speed control pedal, or use the exclusive pre-set function to program a desired cruise speed in advance. 
     The Boomer 8N goes beyond the imagination of classic 8N owners: There are three speed ranges – low, medium and high.  You can control how fast or slow the tractor accelerates or decelerates.  And, there’s even an anti-stall function which is great for loader work.  These Boomer 8N exclusives give you the ability to tailor the response speed to your personal preference or the task at hand.  If there ever was a tractor as easy to drive as a car, this is it.

Custom Rides

     Giving your tractor a nickname used to be the only way you could customize it.  New Holland’s team of designers decided that you should be able to personalize your Boomer 8N just how you like it with an array of options.  From chrome accessories and custom decals, to special control knobs, your Boomer 8N can be customized to most anyway you’d like.
