Farmer updates draining machine invention

The Eco-Drainer machine for draining wet heavy land, first unveiled by Longford designer and farmer Liam Mc-Namee at the 2013 Ploughing Championships, has proved popular with drainage and sports contractors.

Mr McNamee says has received many calls from contractors since he unveiled the machine last September.

Mr McNamee’s land needed constant draining, and he got fed up with blocked pipes.
