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.

Winning Irish locations of two life-changing EuroMillions prizes confirmed
Two Irish EuroMillions players are waking up significantly wealthier on Saturday morning after claiming huge six-figure prizes in Friday night's draw. The National Lottery has revealed that two players, one based in Limerick and the other in Kildare, each claimed a whopping €500,000 in the EuroMillions Plus draw after matching all five numbers. In Limerick, the winning punter purchased their ticket on the day of the day from Day Today in New Line, Rathkeale, while in Kildare, the lucky ticketholder purchased a Quick Pick ticket on the day of the draw online. The winning numbers in last night's EuroMillions Plus draw were: 10, 34, 37, 38 and 43. Players in Limerick are being urged to check their tickets, while an email notification has been sent to the Kildare player. If you happen to be the holder of a winning ticket, you can contact the National Lottery prize claims team on 1800 666 222 or email claims@ to arrange the collection of your prize. While the two EuroMillions Plus winners claimed big prizes, nobody claimed the biggest prize of all, which was worth €232,174,804 on Friday night. This means that, not for the first time this summer, the EuroMillions jackpot is set to reach its cap of €250 million this coming Tuesday (19 August). And, in case you needed reminding, the last time that happened, the biggest possible jackpot was won in Ireland as recently as June. Prior to the next EuroMillions draw, meanwhile, Saturday's National Lottery jackpot is worth a cool €15.5 million and players are reminded that tickets for the draw can be purchased in-store, through the National Lottery app or at ahead of the 7.45pm cut off. Emma Monaghan, National Lottery spokesperson, said: 'Huge congratulations to our EuroMillions Plus winners in Co. Limerick and Co. Kildare, who have each won €500,000 – a fantastic start to their weekends! While there was no winner of the EuroMillions jackpot worth €232,174,804, in total, over 70,000 players in Ireland won prizes in the EuroMillions and Plus games.'
