Irish crops would test any machine. Was talking to vicon man few years ago and he told me out of all the countries they sell equipment into that North of Dublin has the most warranty claims and see stuf break in that never breaks elsewhere so make of that what you will

And the north of Dublin is a holiday park compared to the west of Ireland.

Well I dont know but co antrim suckle cow farmers grow some ridiculous heavy crops. Heard of 25 round bales per acre this year at one point

To be honest I'd say they all got a bit of support for export. But that takes nothing from there success

To get grants you have to be making a product that is replacing an imported product and have export potential , they don't give grants to somebody to make the same product as is already being made here as there would be no extra jobs created .

My mistake, thought there was good support for exporting manufacturers.

I have used a fair amount of Powerscreen tackle over the years and found it well made .I remember a big trommel i was moving with a L70 and dolly shoving me down the slight grade on the compost pad towards the brook one day i was ready to bail out of the cab at one point.

Do they make the basic baler bits in Hungary then ship them over to Ireland to assemble the Fusion?

As far as I know they make the pick up reels in Hungry , they bought out that factory after been buying the reels from them , the rest of the fushion is made in Mayo, all the plastic panels are made locally to me here. I think it's 12 fushions a week going out .
