Machinery fans head for LAMMA in Peterborough and Q8 in Millstreet

Machinery fans are spoiled for choice next week, as LAMMA 2016 in the UK, and coser to home in Co Cork, Millstreet’s Q8 Farm Machinery Show, both open their exhibitions next Wednesday and Thursday.

The Millstreet event will attract thousands of local farmers and contractors to the Green Glens Arena (more information on pages 17-19), while one of the largest machinery exhibitions in western Europe will have many launches for UK and international visitors, at LAMMA in Peterbrough, England.

Here are my selected highlights at next week’s LAMMA 2016 show, set on a 125-acre site with 1.5 million square feet of exhibition space.
