I may be wrong but that looks like a harvester built by Cooke engineering from Newtownards. @theulsterscot might know. (Not sure if I have tagged hlm right)

I was in a mans yard a couple of years ago and seen a pivot telehandler in a shed. I said you don't see many of them about, he said that's the only one ever built. Apparently he built it as some joint venture project and showcased it to JCB who then bought the rights to some of the design features.
