Charity Tractor - Alastair Dale Contracts
Gary finally gets into the driver's seat of the Valtra! But how will it fair in comparison to the Fastrac 4220? Thanks to Alastair Dale Contracts for inviting us along to help with the long draw and for very kindly contributing to our charity efforts.

JF Harvester Restoration Timelapse
We thought some of our followers might be interested in a closer look at the work that went into the JF Harvester we picked up during the week. They kindly sent us through a copy of the timelapse they filmed showing the restoration process. Thanks again to the JF Centre in Tullamore!
DonkeyCam - Baling at HQ!
B.H. Dickey & Son were down at GRASSMEN HQ yesterday doing some baling for farmer Gareth, Gazza took the charity valtra down with the Broughan trailer to lend a hand!
Collecting a New Toy in Tullamore!
The saying goes 'You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear'.
Or can you?
When Paul form the JF Centre in Tullamore offered GRASSMEN the lend of a refurbished JF 1100 Donkey (who has always been a fan of the trailed harvester brand) didn't need any convincing!
What would you like to see the 1100 married up to first?
A New Challenge for the Charity Tractor
Last week the charity tractor visited Clarke's Machinery in Cavan for her first service very kindly provided by Valtra. When the guys went to pick her up to bring her back to GRASSMEN HQ Clarke's had their own idea about what she should do next!
10 Years of GRASSMEN - Part 1
Ever wondered where it all began? 2020 marks 10 Years of GRASSMEN but the current circumstances have meant we haven't been able to celebrate as we originally imagined.
We thought however we would get Gareth Gault (aka Donkey) into the hot seat and ask him some questions that our fans ask us all the time. So sit back and enjoy the first part of our life story. We thank our customers and fans so much for all their support through the years especially at this time. Stay safe folks!
