Careful now!
I'd say most started off farming so know better what's needed.Teemore barriers and calving gates etc
Several good trailer manufacturers
They seem to "get it" for what livestock farmers need
No foreign investment? Are you sure about that?It's amazing how it is concentrated in areas, in county Mayo which is north west and never benefited from foreign investment within 15 miles , we have Mchales, Malone , Major , Cashels and Agrispread , and then in the south east , in Carlow , we have Tanco , Keenan , Dooley, Braughan , Smith and A&W engineering , and many more smaller companies , I'm based in the midlands and I've solved the problem of keeping baler and wagon knives razor sharp with the best Sharpner on the market known as www.agriknives.ie
it seems to exist in clusters
a legacy from the former sugar factory in carlow
with
rutland eng ,hi spec,tanco,keenan,broughan,smyth,to name a few in carlow
keenan have been assumed into another companyNo foreign investment? Are you sure about that?
Yes the foreign companies don't make farm machinery , all our machinery is designed and made by Irish companies , what would a yank know about making a baler or slurry tanker.No foreign investment? Are you sure about that?
I'm often asked what's the differance in the sharpening machine I designed and the Goweill machine that is the market leader , I say it's very simple , the Goweill was designed by an engineer and mine is designed by a man who sharpens knives.I'd say most started off farming so know better what's needed.

c.monMaybe part of the reason for making goodish stuff is what the irish operatir throws at it ?....wet heavy crops, rough men, wet ground, rushed work, minimal maintenance...an ideal proving ground?
