A sneak peak at what Olivia has been up to down in Co. Cork this week...

Video to follow!

At the weekend we witnessed these guys take on a challenge that we couldn't attempt in our wildest dreams! 24 hours of non stop walking. They came up against wind, rain and baking sun not to mention multiple blisters and seized muscles all in aid of Helping Hand, a charity for the children's ward in Belfast Royal Hospital. We went along to show our support and to try and capture their journey as best we could.

Olivia catches up with Conor from McCarthys to find out the answer to the question everyone is asking.

Is the new straight 6 power plant a match for the traditional V8 in the next generation Jaguar 970?

While on our trip to cork we saw a very interesting machine, a Reiter Merger! Donkey couldnt resist getting the camera out to take a look at it!

Donkey and the team travel to Cork to catch up with Mark Troy and his new beast in the east!

The sun was splitting the rocks in the West last weekend, so it was great to get out to film Trench Agri at some second cuts with their McHale Pro Glide butterflies and Claas 870 Jaguar in Co. Mayo.

We thought it was time to get the Strautmann into the hands of an operator. Philip McKee already runs his own wagon but is considering upgrading so he was very keen test ours out with his John Deere 6920S.

At the start of the week we were invited just up the road to Broughshane to help father and son team Millar Contracts haul a few loads of bales. We've known these guys a while now and are delighted to finally feature them on our channel!

This time we hooked the Valtra onto the Broughan bale trailer and they make a fine pair but how did the duo fair on the tighter roads? Special thanks to the Millar family for having us and for supporting our charity efforts!

We took a trip down to cork to visit McCarthys Plant & Agri Sales and see their Claas 970 at Tony O'Mahony Agri, Plant & Haulage, while we were there we got a chance to speak to Der O'Mahony about the business and their impressive fleet of machinery!

The Charity Valtra is out doing the rounds with some local contractors!

After the disaster breakdown with the JF, Gary hooks the Strautmann onto the Valtra to tackle the rest of the 2nd cut!

On a wet day we've finally got a look at the JF and the damage we created at the barn the other night!
