Very little rental in Tuam for past 3 years. Currently only 6 properties.

Valeo I believe have had huge impact, plus the motorway also..

It's the Liebherr 9800. We have one down the farm - it's great for clearing manure out of cattle houses spreading a bit of gravel on the front drive. Not cheap to run though - I only just put €600 worth of diesel in it last week and it's gone already.

Pity they are so slow getting into gear on this, with the present dry spell they could have made a lot of headway early on.
