Successful Ploughing Championships for Agrigear

Agrigear reports that this year’s Ploughing Championships was “a great success” and provided the tyre and wheel specialist opportunity to meet farmers, contractors and machinery operators from across Ireland.

A major focus at the Agrigear stand was its range of BKT agricultural tyres, alongside Agrigear-manufactured wheel rims.

Agrigear also displayed wheels showing the before-and-after of its rim reconditioning process, giving visitors a closer look at the transformation from an original rim to a fully refurbished and powder-coated finish, as well as the different colour and finish options available.

Visitors could also explore the Ralson truck tyre range and speak directly with the Agrigear sales team about their requirements.

Shane Sheridan, Damien Galligan, Barry Hanlon and Ronnie Coleman, Michael Hall, Gerald McAdam and Preenu Paul were all involved at different stages of the event, bringing their experience and expertise to the stand.

Throughout the three days, Agrigear said many customers requested tyre pricing and discussed different options for their machinery, with its sales advisors on hand to answer questions and provide guidance.

One of the main attractions on the Agrigear stand this year was ‘Buster’, the Case 1455 tractor associated with social media influencer Evenflow. Buster was fitted with a full set of BKT Agrimax V-Flecto VF tyres, with VF710/70R38 tyres on the rear and VF600/65R28 tyres on the front, giving visitors an opportunity to see BKT’s VF technology in a real machinery application.

Alongside Buster, Agrigear also displayed a Case Farmall 120M tractor, showcasing different grass wheel and transport wheel options, highlighting the range of wheel solutions available for different agricultural requirements.

The stand also featured a Komatsu WA-380 loader, fitted with a full set of VF800/65R32 BKT Agrimax Prohharvest tyres mounted on bespoke rims manufactured by Agrigear.

This display brought together BKT’s latest VF tyre technology with Agrigear’s in-house wheel manufacturing capabilities, giving visitors a practical example of how the two solutions can work together.

Sandra Deering, sales and marketing manager at Agrigear, said the National Ploughing Championships was a great opportunity for the company to meet customers and industry contacts over the three days.

“With a combination of technical knowledge, industry experience and direct customer support, the team helped make sure visitors received practical advice based on their machinery and working conditions,” she said.

“The conversations throughout the event also provided a valuable opportunity for Agrigear to better understand the requirements and challenges faced by customers across the agricultural sector,” Deering added.
