[AT] New fangled tractor question

[Stephen Offiler]

I don't think Cecil's terrible experience with his TS110 says much if
anything about New Hollands in general.

Sorry for my barrage of replies earlier; I was actually in the middle of
something else and not giving this my full attention.  So to recap, there's
something wrong with the information we're given.  I am pretty sure there's
no such thing as a 2007 Boomer 40.  The things it could be include:

1)  2011-2013 Boomer 40 (they just got the date plain wrong)
2)  2017 Boomer 40 (the date is one digit off, a real possibility, not to
mention 350 hrs makes it sound pretty new)
3)  2003-2008 Boomer TC40A (date is correct, and they're abbreviating the
model)

These are three somewhat different tractors which will have different
monetary values, as well as some features you might not want... the '17 has
Tier 4 emissions which I'd have to look up, but I think those are the ones
with particulate filters that go into an annoying "regen" cycle
periodically.   I'm not sure about DEF but maybe that too.  Show stopper
for some people.

SO
