Did they import Catchpole Beet Harvesters ?They had a place in the Square in Cahir, but they had their yard out the Cashel? Road.
They were County Tractors and Hiab Crane importers. Did a lot of business with the ESB and Coillte, amongst others.

E.C. Pratt sold Abbey for a good few years, I bought a McConnell PA95 hedgecutter from them, last I heard of it was 10 yrs or more ago, it was with a lad outside Cahir.I didnt realise that EC Pratt were Landini dealers , despite living within 15 miles of them .
They are doing little in the way of machinery now , nothing with tractors for possibly 20 years .
De Laval milking machine agents now .

I took one off our haybob that had a bit of a wobble in it. I put it in the trailer and the father went off with it. Your man took the reel off and went behind a door, and wouldn't let the auld lad see whatever he was at, but there was a lot of hammering and banging. He must be trying to hold on to trade secrets.
He told me this when he came back and I was sceptical enough, but we put to anyways and put it back into the haybob. To his credit, it was spot on, and has stayed so since. That must be 3 years ago now.

I remember an article in the farmers journal about his haybob reel straightening service, they mentioned that he was very secretive about his method and any equipment used. Does the same fella have a collection of vintage tractors?There is still a farrar man in abbeyshrule, I'm guessing he is of the same family as above. All he seems to do is straighten haybob reels.
