The Farm Tractor & Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) has informed AgriLand that a German-built Dammann self-propelled sprayer will make its Irish debut at next week’s FTMTA Farm Machinery Show.

Chantry Dammann UK Ltd is the UK distributor for the German manufacturer that produces the machine. The newly-appointed Irish dealer is Clarkill Farming (Clarkill, Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary).

The machine will likely prove to be one of the many talking points at the show.

Herbert Dammann GmbH – to use the manufacturer’s full trading name – doesn’t just build agricultural sprayers. It also makes specialised bowsers/sprayers for municipal and airport use.

It even builds spraying systems for use on railway lines. The company is based near Hamburg in the northern reaches of Germany.

It’s worth noting that next week’s show kicks off on Thursday (February 7) and runs until Saturday (February 9). Trucks and low-loaders are currently making their way to Co. Kildare – to transport the hoards of machines that will be on display.
