We had a small farm machinery show on this last few days here in Northern Ireland...My two lads wanted to go so they jumped outta school at noon and we travelled to the show an hour west of our place. Ths show is aimed at the smaller livestock farms in that area, and it is obvious that more and more farmers are moving back to doing their own work instead of paying for contractors(custom operators) to do it......
The current trend is to keep the cows inside and haul fresh grass to them(wonder how long that will be trendy?) So we have many specialised outfits to cut and lift the grass without damaging it...
We have many local companies making slurry tankers....and hedgecutters! 2000 imperial gallons is the most common size
Redrock make some of the best machinery, but it is expensive. Their TMR feeders are excellent the one on their stand has the optional knife chopping attachment...
Johnstones make loader attachments, silage shear grabs,shear buckets and bale handling equipment......
This hydraulic bale fork is dual purpose, the tubes cover the tines for lifting and stacking wrapped silage bales without damaging the plastic wrap. The forks can spread hydraulically to let the bale stack on top of the previous row, then for feeding the tubes can be removed to reveal the spikes or tines....opened out the tines will lift two bales or closed for one
Our offering from MF, This size of tractor is becoming the norm here(120-140 hp)
And the Deere lineup, this new range is fast undoing any good the 10 series did for Deere, But I am sure they will address it soon......They are still popular anyway?
The new Kubota... Not very popular here!
Deutz from Germany originally, now part of Same Deutz Fahr(SDF)
And the equivilent Same....
JCB displayed their range of Farm-handlers......
New Holland were out in force....sorry about the photo quality!
Trailed silage harvesters are making a comeback....
Sorry guys my picture upload has gone slow more some other time if you like?

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming.
