How did you get started?
I hated milking cows so, when I returned to my father’s farm after finishing college, I used his tractor and maize drill to do a bit of work locally.
As things stand, Brexit will mean that vehicles imported from Britain will attract a hefty tariff under WTO rules.
The UK has always been a rich source of used tractors. The benefits have been mutual. Ireland had a steady supply of affordable machinery, while the UK dealer could take in tractors on part exchange knowing that they had a ready market for them.
It also helped support prices if UK dealers’ yards weren’t cluttered with unsold tractors.
But that symbiotic arrangement looks to be grinding to a halt so Irish buyers, both private and trade, will need to start looking elsewhere and the obvious hunting ground is continental Europe.
