Making its public debut on the Benn Agri stand, Alan Ward Engineering showcased grass harrows, front rippers and a prototype one-pass grass seeder.

Based in Co Kilkenny, Alan Ward took up manufacturing this kit earlier this year following a request from Benn Agri. Having worked with Wilson Engineering up to then, while carrying out works locally from his farm, Alan is well accustomed to fabricating, a trait evident in the finish of his products.

The flagship unit on show was the Rejuvenator 3000.

This is a 3m unit with two rows of ripper tines, two rows of 12mm tines followed by a self-cleaning prism roller.
