AgriLand is at this week’s Farm Tractor & Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) Farm Machinery Show (in Punchestown – near Naas, Co. Kildare).

Niall Claffey caught up with the association’s chief executive – Gary Ryan – to find out how the event is unfolding.

Of course, we also took the opportunity to bring you further footage from the exhibition – showcasing machines from a myriad of manufacturers (from Ireland and overseas).

Earlier today, Diarmuid Claridge, Pottinger Ireland’s general manager, told AgriLand’s Sylvester Phelan that he was “in optimistic form, following a busy first day at the show”.

He said: “There was a very positive atmosphere on the first day, with good engagement and crowds.”

The show opened to the public yesterday (Thursday); it closes tomorrow (Saturday).

If you make it to the event, don’t forget to vote for your favourite ‘Working Wonder‘. There are six tractors to choose from.
