In this week’s machinery pages, we catch up with the latest news in the machinery industry including a Kilkenny man who recently set off on a 1,500km month-long journey around Ireland on his Ferguson 20 tractor to raise organ donor awareness.

With farmers’ attention beginning to switch to sowing catch crops, I travelled to Wexford to take a look at a machine that seemed to tick all the boxes.

In vintage, I visit Galway vintage enthusiast Eddie Noone who informed me of how he unknowingly bought back a tractor his father spent so many years operating in his local forest.

In motoring, Alistair Chambers found his experience in the quirky-designed Citroën C4 Cactus Flair 130 to be extremely comfortable and fuel efficient.
