That's a nice rig! 4WD would be nice.

But the blower is a single stage

Oops, I knew that John.  That was a test...You get an A+.

 

That blower was so big and I was checking out the front drive shaft and a really smooth pull and turn to lock cable chute deflector.  Looked like this one.

The Simplicity line was taken on by my WH Dealer once Toro stopped production on our favorite tractors. They seemed very nice taking a close look at them. These pics I took while picking up some WH parts. I think this was 5 ish years ago and these were selling for 13 to 15 thousand. On another note I bought one of those chute controls at my local JD dealer 10 years ago to install one the 520-H. It is still on a shelf in the shop, just never got to it. Very high quality piece.  @Ed Kennell

@Bow_Extreme am I crazy or did you just recently get one of these?

[Brockport Bill 1,401]

there is a New Holland tractor dealer I have seen in upstate NY in Adirondacks in Amsterdam area -- NY Rt 30 -- they have an amazing impressive line up of inventory of all sizes of tractors ( Blue scheme) - - including a line of smaller tractors but bigger than WH 500 series -- sorta the sizes of the Simplicity with loader posted here in this thread - or what one might see of Kubotas - the reason I mention is I recall there was a common design reproduction of models from either WH to the NH.... or maybe it was the Toro to the NH ? I recall a couple years ago I was selling a WH or Toro mower deck and to a guy who drove long way to buy and it was because he had a New Holland that the  mower was compatible with??? Wonder if there is till any over lap with WH/Toro and New Holland?  Last thought -- the volume of inventory of the NH dealer is huge for what many would consider a soft economy area of upstate rural NY -- so I dont know the financial arrangments between NH manufacturing, and the banks, and the dealer, but someone is paying big $$ to have all that inventory sit there -- hard to believe it turns over that fast?????????

Yes, I own one.  They are stupid heavy duty and work great. The combo of having front wheel assist and a bucket is a game changer.   However, parts are hard to get and I’ve been cross referencing New Holland Boomer Series tractors to acquire parts.  The parts are also very spendy.  I have at least $1,000 into the front axle and seals.
