The Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association are organisers of two very successful Agricultural shows – the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show and FTMTA Grass & Muck. For the upcoming Farm Machinery Show the association says that many more finance companies, parts suppliers, country clothing, oil companies and tyre companies have booked space for the event.
Most of the major tractor manufacturers have already booked exhibit spots. Tractor brands already confirmed are Claas; Valtra, Case IH, Fendt, Massey Ferguson and John Deere. Other major companies to exhibit will include Pottinger, Kuhn and Cork Farm Machinery, Lemken, Farmhand, JCB, Kubota and McHale Plant.
The event will take place over two days, from Wednesday, 13 July to Thursday, 14 July 14, 2022, at Punchestown Racecourse.
Executive director of the FTMTA, Michael Farrelly says: “We knew that there was strong demand out there for a return to shows but this has really taken us by surprise. We opened our exhibitor application process last week and we already have a large number of exhibitors confirmed for our July 2022 Farm Machinery Show. The feedback that we are getting is that manufacturers are looking for a focused, professionally-run event. The FTMTA [has] a proud reputation of running events that have one focus and that is the farm machinery.”
Farrelly adds that, “The success of a FTMTA Farm Machinery Show is built on the experience of both the exhibitors and the visiting public. The Punchestown venue is designed for events with large attendances. Its location makes it easily accessible from anywhere in the country,” he added.
Exhibition packs have been released, and anyone hoping to exhibit should book early to guarantee their place.
