A 1982 Massey Ferguson 240 is being raffled off this September. The raffle is in aid of Donegal Breast Cancer Clinic and Kevin’s Kids Fund. The tickets are €10 each or three for €25.

The recently refurbished tractor will be on display at the Inish Tractor Road Run 2019 on Sunday 2 June, which is also in aid of the two charities. The tractor run will leave Malin Head at 11am and tour the Inishowen Peninsula.

Raffle tickets are available to win this tractor

“We try to do it for charities that are not Government funded,” said Gary Monagle from the organising committee. “Last year, we raised €23,000.”

Volunteers

There are eight people on the committee and they all volunteer their time to organise the tractor run and refurbish the tractor that is being raffled off.

“A right bit of work has been done on the tractor. There are 2,500 hours on it and it’s from England.

"All the agricultural shops around the area helped us out by donating paint or whatever we needed,” Monagle said.
