Octavia Scout to launch at National Ploughing Championships

Skoda Ireland have announced a special finance offer for IFA members, writes Trish Whelan. From now until February 2015, Skoda will contribute €1,000 towards a finance deposit on any new Skoda purchased by IFA members. This offer is exclusive to IFA members and is applicable to any new Skoda purchased on a Skoda finance plan.

In recent years, Skoda have been able to cater even more towards farmer's needs with a range of 4x4 vehicles and will be unveiling the new Skoda Octavia Scout at this year's National Ploughing Championships on 23 September with prices starting from €33,795.

The Octavia Scout can tow up to two tonnes, which is 25 percent more than before. It also has 'excellent' steep-slope capability. With greater angles of incline from 16.7 degrees at the front and 13.8 degrees at the back, the Octavia Scout can also master steeper, more demanding terrain without difficulty.

Electronic differential lock supports stable start-up characteristics at low speeds in the Octavia Scout.

James Kelly, Director of Organisation, IFA says Skoda is a popular choice of car among farmers and farm families.
