Boomer™ Utility Tractors

The perfect mix of brawn and agility

The new TC48DA and TC55DA Boomer™ utility tractors offer a surprising combination of power and maneuverable size. Underneath their stylish exterior lie big horsepower and hydraulic capacity that allow you to do more work fast. Read about the new Boomer utility tractors; then consult the New Holland Product Counselor to find out which one is right for you.

Extended powertrain warranty puts Boomer at the head of the pack. This means you get an extra twelve months of powertrain coverage beyond Boomer's standard full-vehicle 24-month warranty at no extra charge.

Reliable four-cylinder engines deliver efficient power for tough work and difficult conditions.

The Boomer 12 x 12 synchronized transmissions  give you more speed choices than the transmissions on competitive brand utility tractors.

High-output hydraulic system provides plenty of flow and three-point lifting capacity.

Independent, 540-rpm PTO is standard equipment.

Comfortable Boomer operator platform  provides superior comfort and easy-to-use controls.

Choose 2WD or optional front-wheel drive (FWD) axles . FWD axles boost productivity by providing added drawbar pull and better fuel efficiency.

Simple service allows you to decrease preparation time and increase productive work time.

The optional 18LA front loader features a 2,213-pound lift capacity at a loading height of 59 inches—perfect for lifting large loads onto flatbed trucks.

A broad selection of hard-working implements helps Boomer utility tractors earn their keep every day.

Engine

Boomer™ utility tractors feature rugged four-cylinder diesel engines at 48 and 55 gross engine horsepower. The 55-hp engine is turbocharged.

Unique Omega-shaped bowl at the top of each piston helps to thoroughly mix air and fuel, producing more horsepower per gallon of fuel.

A quick heating glow plug allows for fast starts in cold weather.

A 13.5-gallon fuel tank allows for extended use between fill-ups.

Heavy-duty, 750 CCA battery provides plenty of cranking power and is located in front of the radiator for easy access.

Powerful 40-amp alternator provides superior charging and the capability to handle extra electrical accessories.

Transmission

Forward-to-reverse shifting is a breeze on the TC48DA and TC55DA, making these tractors ideal for loader work, blade work and mowing. And, you get twelve forward speeds and twelve reverse speeds—four speeds in each of three ranges—for more working speeds than you'll find on other utility tractors.

The reliable, easy-to-use 12 x 12 Synchro Shuttle Shift (SSS) transmission is standard on all models. It allows you to shift from forward to reverse without coming to a complete stop.

A 12 x 12 Electro-Hydraulic Shuttle Shift (EHSS) transmission is optional on the TC55DA (FWD only). It allows you to shuttle between forward and reverse without clutching.

Hydraulics

Hydraulic flow to the three-point hitch and optional remotes is generous thanks to a dedicated gear pump. Flow on the TC48DA is 12.03 gallons per minute (gpm) and on 11.60 gpm on the TC55DA.

A separate 5.52-gpm steering pump supplies power for hydrostatic power steering, so the steering never robs flow from the hydraulic system—a plus when mowing around trees and beds or maneuvering a loader in close quarters.

Hydraulic steering fluid level can easily be checked using the dipstick conveniently located on the top of the reservoir. For simplicity, the reservoir is also a spin-on filter that can easily be drained and replaced every 600 hours.

Category II three-point hitch features a hefty 3,465-pound lift capacity @ 24 inches behind the lift balls so you can handle larger, more efficient implements.

Flexible link ends make implement hook-up easy, convenient, and precise. The link ends allow significant adjustment in the three-point arms when hooking up implements.

Crank-type leveling mechanism allows for easy side-to-side implement leveling adjustment.

Telescoping stabilizers are standard, for easy, precise implement hook-up.

Swinging/extendible drawbar provides easy hook-up of attachments and is built to handle the toughest loads.

The hydraulic position control lever located on the right fender control pod gives you fingertip control of three-point-mounted implements. Move the lever forward to lower the implement; pull rearward to raise it. Position control allows you to maintain an implement at a selected position, maintaining a constant relationship between the position of the control lever and the lower link arms.

Draft control is standard equipment, allowing you to maintain implement working depth.

The flow control valve allows you to control the rate at which three-point-mounted implements are lowered. The flow adjustment is located under the front part of the seat platform.

Axle

Dependable 2WD axles are standard on both units, or choose optional front wheel drive. FWD axles boost productivity by:

• Reducing fuel consumption by as much 17% on dry soil and 22% on wet soil.
• Increasing drawbar power by as much as 20% on dry soil and 35% on wet soil.
• Reducing rear axle torque. Power is spread across the front and rear axles, lessening the stress on the rear axle and thereby increasing its life.
  

Differential lock foot pedal allows you to lock both rear wheels together for added traction.

Induction hardened rear axles supported by heavy-duty cast iron housings are designed to
handle the most demanding loads.

Spur gear, double reduction final drives minimize driveline loads insuring many years of trouble-free service.

Effective, long lasting, wet-disc brakes are designed for sure stops with minimal effort.

Operator Platform

The open, wide Boomer™ operator platform gives you an uncluttered path on and off the tractor. And, built-in comfort and simple controls put you at ease.

The sloped Boomer hood, modern styling, under-hood muffler—and the new matchng curved-boom loaders—not only look great, but they also provide visibility that's best-in-class. The new Boomer design provides both form AND function.

The headlight design and high-mount locations ensure superior illumination, even when using front-mounted implements. Four powerful halogen bulbs, including headlights and corner work lights, brighten your path for increased productivity and safety during night operation. The main lower headlights have a dual beam function, thus providing six headlight functions.

Anti-skid rubber material on the deck and standard grab handles provide sure footing and support.

The large, high-back seat is contoured and includes spring suspension for good support and a smooth ride. The seat slides forward and back on an inclined/declined track to give taller operators the legroom they need, and place shorter operators close to pedals and controls. The seat also tips forward to keep off rain, snow, or the hot summer sun.

Controls are color-coded, embossed with their function, well-placed and easy to reach.

Hydrostatic power steering provides precise, consistent, low-effort operation.

Dashboard instrumentation includes fuel gauge, temperature gauge, tachometer, PTO speed indicator, hourmeter, cold starting aid indicator and warning lights for engine oil pressure and battery charge.

Service

Boomer utility tractors are easy to service. All routine maintenance points are located on the right side of the engine. You can easily check engine oil level without raising the hood and without removing the loader.

A dipstick located at the rear of the tractor allows you to check transmission, rear axle, and hydraulic system fluid levels. A large fill port is also provided here.

The radiator is easy to access by simply raising the hood.

18LA Loader

Match your Boomer™ utility tractor with the new 18LA curved-boom front loader and you've got the perfect machine for moving mulch, gravel, snow, dirt or hay. This loader is specifically designed to complement the Boomer sloped hood. There's no "dog leg" to obstruct your view to front and sides. Take your seat behind the wheel and you'll find that you can easily see to the top edge of the bucket, and a large area in front of the bucket for the smallest "blind spot" on the market.

The 2,500-lb. lift capacity at the bucket pins at full height allows you to move big loads fast.

A 3,500-lb. lift capacity at 59 inches at the bucket pins allows you to easily load one-ton pallets onto flat bed trucks.

Four-bar linkage provides greater rollback for more complete bucket filling, better material retention at travel height and a greater dump angle for cleaner dumping of sticky material.

Standard bucket level indicator is located inside the right boom arm to make it easy for you to return to the pile with a level bucket.

The loader joystick is nestled into the tractor fender for easy, right-hand operation.

The large rectangular loader torque tube adds durability and strength to resist boom twisting if there's a heavy load on one side of the bucket.

Industrial-style cast reinforcements offer greater strength and longer life.

The Quick-Latch™ system allows you to install the loader in minutes and remove it just as quickly—without tools. Just remove retaining pin, disconnect the loader stand pin and lower the stand, extend the lift cylinders, disconnect hydraulic lines and back away.

The mid-mount frame design not only makes connecting and disconnecting the loader fast and simple, it also makes it easy to service the tractor engine, radiator, battery and components that are under the hood.

Construction-grade, heavy-duty, one-inch, non-rotating pins are used throughout the loader for easy servicing, greater strength and durability. All pins are rifle drilled for lubrication. Rifle drilling protects the grease zerks from damage.

The optional Quick-Attach faceplate (skid steer compatible) allows you to switch easily between attachments like Quick-Attach buckets, farm forks, pallet forks and bale spear.

Mounting flanges wrap around the buckets to spread digging force over a large area for long-lasting durability.
