What are ye going to look at in Ploughing 2013?

Conmaicne Mara

I have a bit of an agenda going there this year. Specifically looking at forestry and tourism options to bring in a few more bucks, as well as more "left of field" sheep breeds. I'm a bit disappointed there is no Dexter cattle stand there this year.

Jean Byrne, hopefully:)

haven't been in a few years, looking forward to cattle section and then maybe a look at some of the 7ft mowers on show

like more on here i'll walk past alot of the non-farming ones

We've had some security issues recently so CCTV will be high up on the addenda.

After that stock.

Always go and see the horse teams ploughing.

I bought a 310s this year and can't recommend enough. I couldn't stretch to a new one:(as i had a 3 year old pile of shyte to trade in.

The host farmer i did my second placement had one, i fell in love with it ha they have some power. I drove a side mounted manitou on the first placement and it was a **** to shear grap a pit and always breaking. The jcb was a dream to drive. What sorta money would a good second hand one set me back?

bogman_bass

Macra parthenaise and NCBC stands. if i get anything else in it'll be a bonus

They made great telescopic loaders for building site, light years ahead of the JCB. But their farm version wasn't suppposed to be great.
