It covers the mid-PTO, loader geometry, hydrostat responsiveness, and real dirt-moving impressions, then closes with actual cash prices ($53K vs $57K) and a frank breakdown of which buyer suits each machine.
Rock Hill Farm is an owner-operator channel run by someone who actively uses tractors for dirt work and log handling on their own property, though this video was filmed at a dealership that provided the equipment for a week-long demo, which is worth keeping in mind.
Yes, the mid PTO is standard on the Boomer 55, not just an option, which is rare for tractors in this size range.
The Boomer 55 priced at $53,000 cash, while the larger comparison tractor came in at $57,000 cash the same day at the dealership.
The loader controls are very responsive, coming up slower but curling and dumping very fast, and can do two functions at once.
It suits dirt moving, driveway leveling, and sawmill log setting, offering more convenient shuttle shift control, though it leaves a bigger rut and is less stable carrying heavy logs than a larger machine.
