Definitely. Has to be a massive branch with all the tractors out on hire. It'll be some loss for New Holland if its not resolved though. Were they paying for their tractors i wonder to compensate for the new branch? That's what happened with the New Holland Dealer in West Cork a few years back. Big losses on stocks and selling new tractors that he wasn't paying for!

It’s in the pipeline since before Xmas. There were a few issues being argued over by both sides but payment for new tractors certainly wasn’t one of the problems.

In the end it was New Holland who decided to pull the plug so they must expect to be able to take on another dealer to make up the sales.

They’d want to organise it fairly quick as Shaws have only recently bought out Lyons and Burton so New Holland is gone from their branches too which leaves a very big empty space in the midlands and north Leinster now for NH.

Can be done with one person with an easy bleed kit. I've got one that connects to a valve on one of the tyres and uses the air pressure to bleed the system.

I had to buy an extra lid and drill a hole in it for my fluid reservoir as none included in the kit fitted.

Lifted same setup, different name tho, at 20 euro, today in motor Factors, super job.

I suppose they’ll pick up some of the north Leinster customers.

Mike Garahy will probably get more of the midlands lads. M&S and Murphy’s will get back some of the southern lads. When it’s all divided up they might all just gain a small bit and New Holland could still survive without WR Shaw!!

With a t6 180 dynamic gone north of 100k plus the vat as a example of a popular new holland tractor who's going to have the price of one, the ex-hire tractors where savage value out of their as a example a fully loaded t 6 180 with in our around 700 hours ex-hire where being sold for 80k incl vat out of that dealership in 2018, the contractor/farmer is the only real casualty with the dealership being pulled

I see your point but the number of ex-hires is greatly reduced from now on regardless of Shaws or not. Bord Na Mona were using about 70 new tractors every year and they were all sold as ex hires. Bord Na Mona obviously aren’t renewing that contract as they are finished peat production so them numbers won’t be there in future no matter who the dealer is.

There was also about 20 or 25 tractors hired into the airport and I heard (but can’t confirm) that he had lost that contract already as well so between the two that would be near 100 tractors not available any more as ex hire no matter what. .

What will Shaws sell now?

The rumours around here are that he plans to stay sourcing the clean second hand New Holland’s from UK and further afield and sell them.

I deal with garaghy, worst thing it will be harder to get these lads as theyl take on new clients

I deal with him myself too. A sound man and very knowledgeable on what he does. Aileen (his wife) knows almost as much as him when it comes to the spare parts!

Was comparing last years IFJ machinery price supplement with this year, most big machines/tractors have gone up by 1/2k. Fusions have increased by 5 to 10k on last years price.

It'll be interesting to see what it'll do to contracting if gear prices keep on the upwards trend. Not easy for a lad to start out of nothing at it now.

If he can get work in its no problem. All he needs is a pen to sign the finance agreements.

That magazine is a crock of ****e. A NH t6.125s was listed at €113,000 last year. I priced a brand new one with an extra spool valve, large hydraulic pump and a quicke Q5m with multi Dock, self levelling and soft drive with an electronic joystick in nh blue. €83k all in. I said it to the dealer afterwards and he laughed and said never mind that yoke, they would sell twice as many tractors if that could be gotten out of circulation.

That’s a seriously good deal if including vat. The loader was probably about €10k of that which leaves the tractor at very good value.

Have to agree there.
Not what I was told etc but was sitting in the wagon with a neighbour about 2 years ago and he was finalising the deal on a new 180hp tractor.Straight deal with no trade in .
Same brand as above and price not dissimilar.No loader and plus vat but with a fair few extras.

Those list prices are a joke but then again if dealers actually priced their 2nd hand stuff instead of this POA people might actually ring.How many times you ring about a yoke that looks ok and hear a price thats 10/20k more than its worth ?

I hope he snapped that up

The tractor was bought at that

Anyone ever make a power box for a 135? Could need to be very light yet the width of the tractor for cleaning yard (dropped silage) and cleaning feed passages and the odd small shed.
Double spool for lift and ram easy to fit so that's not a problem

Flemming make a 5' powerbox... It should be a good match for a 135....

Never thought of compact tractor boxes. Thanks
