The annual Farm Machinery show organised by the Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) opened yesterday at the Punchestown racecourse in Co Kildare, writes Trish Whelan.
For the first time, the show has been extended to cater for motor industry exhibitors. The motor trade space is located directly beside the parade ring. SsangYong Motors Ireland exhibited at the event.
Dealer Development Manager John Keogh says "It has been a great show so far with lots of people braving the cold weather to explore our vehicles. In 2014 we continued to notice a rise in interest in 4x4 vehicles amongst the farming community. An exhibition like this is a perfect opportunity to meet members of the farming community and listen to their ever-changing needs so we can continue to provide them with exactly wheat they need."
The exhibition will continue until 5pm on Saturday 7th. John is pictured above with a Rexton W at the show.
