    I'm pretty sure it was McSharry's in Fourmilehouse, Roscommon.

    The boys your thinking of were on the left going into Cork City form Kerry,they used to stock parts for TCM and imported the odd one or 2 loaders.Dont think they were ever main dealers though,Cork Farm Machinery were the dealers 20 years ago but gave up stocking them in the mid 90's.
    Ring CFM,I'm sure it was them that gave me his number years ago when I was looking for a few parts for a TCM loader

    We traded a 35b into Cork Farm Machinery for a TCM 830 in 1993.
    We thought the Michigan was a good loader for reliability but the TCM was on another level entirely.
    It needed a water pump under warranty but went on to do over 20,000 hrs and never needed anything outside of regular servicing and tyres.

    For a farmer they are an excellent loader,just tragic they are not still available here as they are far better suited to farm work than equivalent sized Volvo's and Komatsu's and I'd be pretty certain in saying a fair bit cheaper too.
