Well done,great to see these Irish companies being given recognition, giving real employment throughout Ireland,I would suggest that a lot of them originated from the state companies,sugar company, bord na mona,esb ,railway, and others.the emphasis on vocational training would have helped as well.The IDA and coras trachtala would have rowed in to help the small startup and encourage them to expand and reach global markets. I think it's a national disgrace that our state media never bother to cover our world class engineering companies. One would be forgiven for thinking that our exports and exports employment depend solely on foreign multinationals and tech companies. Thanks again for the video,and yes if you see fit cover them all in the future.
It's a shame that large, foreign, multi national companies that pay little or no tax in this country are held to the asteem that they are.. There is fantastic talent, skill, and entrepreneurial ambition in this country but it largely get neglected unless its in the tech or pharma sector.. and yes, I think I'll need to do a part two of this video 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
Interesting and different video. Belmac would be a popular brand on lot of dairy farms. I have a 991 wrapper bought in iirc 1990. Still going strong, done 15 years contracting and still wraps my own silage. Had to rebuild the load arm last year and replace the odd belt, other than that shes like it was on day one.
Great video. Refreshing to have somebody considering Irish manufacturers and rightly illustrating their worldwide presence and competitiveness. Looking through the comments I’m surprised and disappointed that Dooley trailers are gone out of business since 2021. Could the Carlow manufacturing industry have stemmed from the Sugar Factory days where maybe the associated equipment fabrication and maintenance personnel training may have produced entrepreneurs with business acumen and ambition? Keep up the good work.
As a Kilkenny man and a neighbor of carlow its amazing the amount of engineering firms in carlow and every one of them are top class to say the least. A friend of mine had tullow engineering muck spreaders and slurry tanks back in the 80s
There was alot of country lads went to carlow college or whatever it is called now that studied mechanical engineering and put their knowledge to good use, there was also Thompson engineering in the town and oak park agricultural research centre in carlow and I think it was Burnside engineering that made hydraulic rams in the area which all feeds into the carlow kildare and kilkenny area of agricultural engineering
Great video,id say you could have done a top 20 on trailer manufacturers alone in ireland and northern ireland,Hogg trailers in northern ireland,Scully trailers in kerry and a small engineering company in Galway, Roche trailers are a couple of more,
I'll have a separate video for manufacturers in Northern Ireland and a part two for this video, so I'll do my best to include as many more as possible 👍
Great video interesting to hear some of the manufacturers history! I put Carlow's engineering skills down to the beet factory but I could be wrong! And didn't know Abbey were Tipperary 👍🏻 Wilson trailers KK! Amongst others
Another two Mayo based companies in the Ballyhaunis area, Major who manufacture Slurry handling equipment and grass toppers, and Cashels who make bale handling equipment and fuel bowsers.
Great video just found your channel, nice to see an input about the machinery produced in ireland, go to most countries and bet is theres an irish machine, it a hard video to do as there is endless amounts I reproduce Decal for alot of refurbed machines and I get requests for machines produced in ireland many years ago Ive never heard of, keep up the good work, thanks, Colm
New Zealand is definitely a very important user of mechanical farming, it's all about economics, our farmers had to change back in the 80s from small family farm's because of the loss of England as our main market. We are nowadays a world leader's in farm's. 😊😊😊.
had a chat (maybe alcohol fueled) recently about how many companies on such a small island make world leading machinery,best in the world,north and south 🇮🇪
Carlow is close to 3 ports (Rosslare/Dublin/Belview), agri colleges are about an hours drive, labour from 9 counties is not too much of a drive so it makes sense why so many companies are based there. Sadly a great trailer builder of the 70's-00's Dooley's closed in 2021. Also I don't think Cross still make beet harvesters anymore, going by their site you can't click into the icon.
Don't forget Major, in Mayo, Redrock, As a Nt tipp man we have Abbey on my doorstep, There's also a fantastic amount of other manufacturers just over the border in Cookstown & Dungannon,like Wylie,,,Best thing I find as an overseas agri & plant engineer all the companies you've mentioned & the ones I mentioned are absolutely a god sent to work, Query or get parts from, Irish manufacturing has & is always on top as it is well made equipment with a great back up, ,💪👍
Broughan engineering made there first trailers in 2000, they probably should say the year on there website rather than how many years ago. Also have prodig and A&W trailers and lot's more small manufacturers in Carlow great videos 👌
I cannot believe you left out all companies from “ Northern Ireland “ why ? Massive companies like Redrock Engineering, NC Engineering etc etc ? Bias ???
I have a whole video being made up for manufacturers from the North. Coming in the next few weeks 👍 You can see from this videos description it's Part 1.
Love Irish machinery we use mchale hay equipment and fieldmaster silage trailers keenan feeder wagon in South Africa 🇿🇦

Great video. Thought u might have included the northern companies too. NC, Redrock, Slurry Kat, Kane, Fleming to name a few.
I will in part 2 🤫

Serious amount of machinery going out on trucks. Well done to all involved.
Great video!! A great country for machinery engineering!!
A lot of the carlow companies had a rich heritage from the sugar factory that was based in Carlow
Lots of lads went through Armer Salmon, great apprentice programme there. Also, Thompsons in Carlow

That's a very good point. Also there is a lot of quarries in Carlow and engineering and supply firms that service them.
@@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery The background of the people who started some of these businesses would make for an interesting topic.
Excellent segment
If a machine can survive in Ireland it can probably survive in most countries!
True 👍
Major Equipment also deserves a mention. Great toppers and mulchers.
They will feature in part 2 👍

Very true David. I worked in the Carlow area with a contractor for a few months and i was amazed at the engineering firms in it.
There was alot of country lads went to carlow college or whatever it is called now that studied mechanical engineering and put their knowledge to good use, there was also Thompson engineering in the town and oak park agricultural research centre in carlow and I think it was Burnside engineering that made hydraulic rams in the area which all feeds into the carlow kildare and kilkenny area of agricultural engineering
Well done very informative keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Great video,id say you could have done a top 20 on trailer manufacturers alone in ireland and northern ireland,Hogg trailers in northern ireland,Scully trailers in kerry and a small engineering company in Galway, Roche trailers are a couple of more,

I would agree with that regarding the beet factory
Another two Mayo based companies in the Ballyhaunis area, Major who manufacture Slurry handling equipment and grass toppers, and Cashels who make bale handling equipment and fuel bowsers.
Yep, I probably should have done a top 20, so hard to include everyone
@@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery You could probably find 10 trailer manufacturers alone handy enough.
Great video just found your channel, nice to see an input about the machinery produced in ireland, go to most countries and bet is theres an irish machine, it a hard video to do as there is endless amounts I reproduce Decal for alot of refurbed machines and I get requests for machines produced in ireland many years ago Ive never heard of, keep up the good work, thanks, Colm
Thanks Colm. I'll keep u in mind for decals 👍
No problem anytime, thank you@@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery
Mc hale is very popular in Poland
New Zealand is definitely a very important user of mechanical farming, it's all about economics, our farmers had to change back in the 80s from small family farm's because of the loss of England as our main market. We are nowadays a world leader's in farm's. 😊😊😊.
Up Mayo ! ❤❤💚💚 No.1
Good video two other great machinery manufacturing companies in mayo cashels engineering and major equipment
I have them featured in part two 👍
had a chat (maybe alcohol fueled) recently about how many companies on such a small island make world leading machinery,best in the world,north and south 🇮🇪
Did u ever hear of of o Connor engenineering in tubber co clare.massive operation.
Conor engineering? I did indeed. Another great company
Lovely presentation
Thanks for watching 👍
Malone is up there with the Germans, claas, krone for mowers
A&W Engineering another company in Carlow. Keltec engineering in Kilmallock Co. Limerick
Carlow is close to 3 ports (Rosslare/Dublin/Belview), agri colleges are about an hours drive, labour from 9 counties is not too much of a drive so it makes sense why so many companies are based there. Sadly a great trailer builder of the 70's-00's Dooley's closed in 2021. Also I don't think Cross still make beet harvesters anymore, going by their site you can't click into the icon.
That makes sense Jimmy. Thanks for that
Don't forget Major, in Mayo, Redrock, As a Nt tipp man we have Abbey on my doorstep,
There's also a fantastic amount of other manufacturers just over the border in Cookstown & Dungannon,like Wylie,,,Best thing I find as an overseas agri & plant engineer all the companies you've mentioned & the ones I mentioned are absolutely a god sent to work, Query or get parts from, Irish manufacturing has & is always on top as it is well made equipment with a great back up, ,💪👍
Hard to squeeze them all in, I should have done a top 50 🤣
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Keenan, is the number one for feeder wagons
10 more,,, Belmac,bridgeway,Major, Agrispread,Rossmore, S&M,Arbocut,A&W trailers,,,O.C.E limerick,keltec limerick.
More coning up in Part 2..Thanks for watching
Broughan engineering made there first trailers in 2000, they probably should say the year on there website rather than how many years ago. Also have prodig and A&W trailers and lot's more small manufacturers in Carlow great videos 👌
Thanks for watching 👍
I thought China had bought up all the steel reserves! Boy was I wrong, it was Carlow.
🤣🤣
Tanco, did they make silage grabs??
Yes they did 👍
Very interesting
Thanks for watching 👍
Have a pierce 3 score plough and cant get points or shares anymore for it.
Have u tried getting a blacksmith to make you some?
great Video, hon ireland!
Glad you enjoyed it
Most countries around the world make their own machinery.
Thanks for watching 👍
U forgot about major
Didn't forget about them at all.. They will feature in part 2
Wait sam smyth made trailers bofre he made songs lol
🤣🤣
Don't know any of these.. Just Mchale
I take it your not Irish so 🤣 Thanks for watching 👍
Nope, Belgian..@@AgrimotiveFarmMachinery
Fun fact mchale balers aren’t built in Ireland 🤔
The fusion baler is.. except the pick up.. 👍
No big irish tractor brands tho 😢
Unfortunately not..
I cannot believe you left out all companies from “ Northern Ireland “ why ? Massive companies like Redrock Engineering, NC Engineering etc etc ? Bias ???
Northern Ireland deals in Sterling and pays UK Tax and Ruled by the Brits Not exactly "Irish"companies
I have a whole video being made up for manufacturers from the North. Coming in the next few weeks 👍 You can see from this videos description it's Part 1.
“ Northern Ireland “ is as much a part of Ireland as the rest of the country, the currency and who they pay their taxes to is irrelevant
Great video, very informative.
Thanks for watching 👍
