The Irish Farmers Journal has linked up with the JCB Kickin’ Grass 2014 demonstration loader tour to provide farmers and contractors with the opportunity to track the performance of two new JCB loaders as they move across the country.

Irish JCB distributors ECIJCB have arranged for two machines, a JCB 418S and the new JCB 435S, to work with more than Irish 50 contractors and farmers during this season’s silage harvest. Their performance will be tested in the toughest working conditions, in what is a heavy silage crop.

The two JCB loaders will be running independently of one another and will be tracked using the latest JCB LiveLink Telematics system.
