Visit Farmhand and Fastparts at the Tullamore Show at Stand V387 39
Visitors will be treated to a first look at the new Quicke N-Series loader, designed to fit between the X-Series and the premium Q-Series.
The N-Series loader features forged and cast parts to offer huge strength and durability, as well as toolless implement attachment and detachment.
Also on display will be the vastly popular Amazone Z-AV Super Profis Tronic.
This spreader is suitable for TAMS3 with GPS and weigh cells, but the more basic Eco-Line model will also be on view at the Farmhand stand.
As Krone are celebrating 25 years of the BiG X this year, the main attraction at Stand V367-90 will be the flagship Krone BiG X 1180, the most powerful self-propelled forage harvester in the world.
Alongside this, the Krone display will be focussed on farm machinery for dairy and livestock farmers.
This will include: the ECR321CV a 3.2m mounted mower; the Vendro 790, a 8-rotor tedder; the Swadro TC640 Steer, a twin rotor rake with a flexible working width; and the Krone AX 310 forage wagon.
Other machinery presented will include the Amazone Catros 3m disc harrow and the Amazone Profihopper1250, a ride-on flail mower, able to cut and collect, mulch, scarify, and carry out leaf collection.
A selection of merchandise will be on sale, with three new 2025 jersey designs being launched at Tullamore this year.
In conjunction with O'Neills, Farmhand will offer a limited-edition jersey celebrating 25 years of the Krone BiG X, a new Krone Mower design and, for the first time ever, an Amazone jersey sporting a high-tech Pantera design.
Alongside these will other popular items; including jackets, polo tops and workwear, all on offer at special show-only prices.

Machinery: Quiet confidence and keen interest at Tullamore Show
Tullamore Show came as the season, for stock farmers at least, is slowing down while the tillage men are in full swing with the harvest and ground preparation for the following year's crop. It is time for the machinery industry to take stock of the season so far and try and glean some indication of how sales will fare the following year. The mood around machinery at this year's event was quiet; sales had not been as bad as some had feared and certainly not as terrible as anyone listening solely to the big three tractor manufacturers might assume. All the manufacturers and dealers Agriland spoke with at the show carried the same message - things were ticking over, machinery was being sold and life carried on as normal, even if there were no records being broken. The accolade for the biggest tractor at the show this year went to E.V. Condell Ltd, which was showing the first Massey Ferguson 9S.425 to arrive in Ireland There were also one or two strands of thought permeating the air that might just be straws in the wind or they might turn out to be more substantial. The first is that the quest for power might be abating. Ever since they were invented, tractors have been getting more powerful as engineering technology allowed greater outputs from smaller machines. However, this rush might now be slowing, according to voices in the trade, although it is difficult to ascertain from the published figures, which are simply not detailed enough to give any indication of what is really going on. Despite the talk of power demand peaking in tractors, Krone still finds customers for its 1,156hp harvester Yet the Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) did note a small decline in tractor size in sales totals for July despite there being enough confidence within Irish agriculture for 55% more tractors to be sold compared to July last year. This might be due to dairy and stock farmers buying smaller tractors while prices for beef and milk remain healthy rather than tillage upsizing, a factor mentioned by more than one exhibitor. The other filament of thought is the concern that no matter how big or wonderful a tractor may be, it is nothing if there is nobody available to service it. All in the trade tell of staffing issues: Lemken went so far as to build a separate facility away from its main factory to be able to attract and retain the right people Staff recruitment and retention is affecting everybody in the industry and although this is nothing new, the voices are getting louder and all at the show were affected to some degree. However, these shadows were put aside for another time, as the machinery stands appeared to be remarkably busy with what appeared to be a good deal of enthusiasm being shown by farmers. By lunchtime, the stands throughout the show were heaving with visitors and sales staff had folk queueing to talk to them - which can only bode well for the industry. After a slow start, the show quickly filled up There was little that was new in the way of machinery. Tullamore is not the place for big machinery announcements in Ireland, they will happen at the National Ploughing Championships or, this being an Agritechnica year, we will have to wait until November. One exception was the new stock trailer from Nugent, which had brought along a model from its new TDC range. Th new TDC trailers from Nugent are fully galvanised units designed for a long life These are fully galvanised heavy duty stock trailers that are available as either 20ft or 24ft models. They mark a new direction for the company, which has so far focused on trailers for cars and light goods vehicles. McHale was also showing its F5 550 fixed chamber baler, which has been upgraded with various improvements and was being displayed in public for the first time. Materials handling has become a strong area of focus over the past few years and showgoers had plenty to choose from. With the change in dealership arrangements, JCB is closer to its farm customer base JCB has revamped the way it does business over here and Kellys Agricultural Machinery of Co. Kilkenny had several models available for inspection, along with the news that they are moving well. FJS of Co. Kildare is an agent for both Merlo and Kubota, and is also looking after the Multifarmer won by the Guinan family - who happen to live close by to the showground. Merlo is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Irish loader market with both agricultural and construction-orientated machines That particular machine is being put to good use and Agriland will be visiting it again sometime over the winter feeding season to report on progress. A newcomer to Tullamore is the German brand Weycor, here being represented by Vaughan & Sons of Co. Cork, which has been selling the machines for around 10 years. Weycor loaders have a large slice of the German market and is looking to expand in Ireland There are 17 models from 2.5t up to 16t, with the smaller machines being powered by either a Yanmar or Kubota engine while the larger have a Deutz at their heart. Whether a tractor, loader, or harvester, all these vehicles require tyres and Nokian was one of the few tyre manufacturers present. Nokian tyres are a little different from the competition in having a Nordic approach to to dealing with tough conditions The company distinguishes itself from the competition with a different approach to tyre design; it is one of orientation towards forestry as well as field conditions, leading to a tougher and longer lasting carcass. Once again, the Tullamore Show demonstrated its worth as a window into the shape of the Irish machinery market and this year it was reassuring, rather than alarming or extravagant in its claims of heightened sales.

IFAC on Apple tax: 'Spend it, save it or cut debt'
Briefings for the Fiscal Advisory Council (IFAC) chair ahead of an Oireachtas appearance flagged likely questions on the Apple tax windfall, the budget impact of migration, and poor value from money in health spending. Two Q&As were prepared for Séamus Coffey as he got ready to appear before a committee on budgetary oversight in early July. One section highlighted issues that were likely to be 'pertinent now' while another looked at questions that arose 'consistently.' On what to do with the €13.8bn Apple tax windfall, a suggested answer for Mr Coffey said to remember the government 'is not stuck for cash.' It said: '[The state] is stuck for its capacity to spend it on things we all want. There are three broad options – spend it, save it, [or] cut debt.' The Q&A said spending it on housing was easier said than done as the biggest issues were 'construction sector capacity and planning bottlenecks' not the availability of cash. If asked about the budgetary implications of migration, the briefing for Mr Coffey said there had been 'large increases' in numbers coming to Ireland in recent years. It said: 'This has meant the labour force and employment has been able to grow as rapidly as it has in recent years. '[Around] €2.1bn has been set aside for humanitarian assistance to refugees this year (€0.8bn of this is for Ukrainian refugees). In terms of future costs, these are uncertain.' The Q&A said that getting migrants integrated into employment and their own homes would reduce costs for the government. 'An increased supply of housing would mean some of the more expensive means of accommodation (hotels] may be replaced,' it said. On cost-of-living supports, which have been a major feature of recent budgets, the IFAC briefings said these cost increases were now 'likely permanent.' The Q&A said: 'There is probably less of a case for once-off measures this winter. Permanent increases in social welfare could be targeted at specific groups. However, the measures have seldom been targeted.' Mr Coffey was also briefed on employment in construction and whether we needed more people working in that sector. 'Just over six per cent of all employment is in the construction sector. Over the period 2005 to 2007, this reached over ten per cent. This may have been unsustainable, however.' The briefing added: 'Mention productivity, can we get more output from the same workforce?' A Q&A on broader questions highlighted the challenges in creating a wealth tax that would be fair, not become an administrative burden, and collect enough money to make it worthwhile. On how to fix repeated overruns in health spending, the briefing said that 'poor budgeting' was a problem but that there was also evidence of 'reduced productivity.' It also explained how Ireland's failure to meet its climate targets carried a very real 'fiscal risk.' The Q&A said the country had already foregone €500m from carbon credits it was entitled to sell and that costs of non-compliance were in the range of €8bn and €26bn. The document said: 'While several [EU] member states are projected to fall short, the potential costs are significantly higher for Ireland relative to the size of its economy.' Asked about the records, IFAC said they had no further comment to make.
