New Holland Boomer 3050 to Workmaster 60 specifications

Identify which Workmaster 55 is in the comparison

The Workmaster 55 name spans different engines and transmissions. New Holland's April 2010 service manual identifies an N844LT four-cylinder diesel; its Workmaster 45 companion uses the naturally aspirated N844L. The later cab tractor has a three-cylinder S8000.

Engine identity matters here. A service procedure selected by the hood badge alone could concern the other power unit.

The 2018 utility brochure offers the 55 with a cab and power shuttle. Its open-platform alternative belongs to the 75, so the brochure's ROPS dimension cannot describe this 55. The correct cab roof height is 100.2 inches; 154.1 inches measures overall length.

The earlier dimension labels were reversed. PTO output also needs its engine-speed condition: rated-speed output and the maximum at a lower engine speed occupy separate lines. Neither is a second gross-engine rating.

Before comparing a used cab tractor with the older shuttle machine, identify its engine and photograph its transmission controls. The two columns below preserve that distinction.

Boomer 3050 cab equipment changes the comparison

The Boomer 3050 also has more than one configuration. New Holland's SuperSuite brochure describes EasyDrive Series II: one pedal governs engine and travel speed, while a steering-column shuttle selects direction. Response settings adjust acceleration and deceleration.

Cruise control can hold or resume a working speed. Those controls differ from the shuttle-transmission entry retained below.

For that CVT cab version, the manufacturer specifies 40 PTO horsepower and a 2,800-pound rear lift measured behind the link ends. Its shipping weight is 4,136 pounds with the stated four-wheel-drive and industrial-tire equipment. These figures belong together.

They do not replace the lighter open-platform record or prove that every 3050 carries the same alternator. The cab schedule lists a standard charging specification and an upgrade. Check the installed unit when adding electrical equipment.

Workmaster 50 and 60: compare the hitch at the same point

New Holland's 2016 range brochure gives the Workmaster 50 and 60 an eight-forward, eight-reverse synchronized shuttle. Their independent rear PTO can keep the implement engaged while the tractor is clutched or changes gear. Economy PTO was optional in this range, so a used machine's selector needs checking before assuming that feature is present.

The larger hitch number measures load at the ball ends. The smaller figure measures behind them; using one against the other's rearward rating would misstate their difference. Both utility models were offered with two-wheel drive or a driven front axle.

Separate hydraulic pumps serve steering and implements. That division helps explain why total pump flow should not be treated as all available to an attachment. Compare implement flow with implement flow.
