Get the Right Kit in Place Before the Season Kicks Off
Get Set for the Season Ahead – Practical Kit That Earns Its Keep on the Farm
This time of year is when most farmers start taking stock. Winter jobs are still ongoing, but spring work is around the corner, and having the right machinery in place makes all the difference when things start moving fast.
At Farm Compare, we work with farmers across Ireland and the UK to source reliable, hard-working equipment that’s built for real farm use – not showroom farming.
Here’s a look at some of the kit farmers are investing in right now, and why.
Livestock Trailers – Safe, Strong & Built to Last
Moving stock is a regular job this time of year, whether it’s selling, buying, or shifting animals around the farm.
M-Tec livestock trailers are a popular choice thanks to:
-
Strong, well-balanced chassis
-
Easy loading and unloading
-
Designed with animal safety in mind
They’re practical, durable, and built for everyday use – not just the odd trip.
Flat Bed & Tipping Trailers – Everyday Workhorses
A good trailer is one of the hardest-working bits of kit on any farm.
-
Flat bed trailers are ideal for moving bales, fertiliser, fencing materials, and machinery
-
Kenwell dropside tipping trailers are perfect for grain, silage, gravel, and general yard work
Simple, strong, and versatile – the sort of trailers that get hooked on daily once the workload ramps up.
Bale Handlers & Silage Pushers – Save Time, Save Effort
Feeding jobs don’t stop, even when the weather’s poor.
-
JM Agri bale handlers make lifting and stacking bales safer and quicker
-
Silage pushers help keep feed within reach, cutting waste and saving time at the barrier
-
Small investments here often pay for themselves quickly in reduced labour and wasted feed.
Log Splitters – Still Earning Their Keep
Firewood is still being burned hard on many farms.
Sullivans Engineering log splitters are built for proper timber and real workloads:
-
13-tonne hydraulic log splitters for everyday farm firewood
-
16-tonne hydraulic log splitters for tougher hardwood
-
16-tonne towable log splitters for contractors and mobile work
-
If you’re still splitting by hand or fighting with an underpowered machine, now’s a good time to upgrade.
Tractor Weight Blocks – Balance, Safety & Traction
With loaders, bale handlers, and heavier implements in use, proper ballast matters.
Rite Engineering tractor weight blocks help:
-
Improve tractor balance
-
Increase traction
-
Reduce wear on tyres and axles
-
Improve overall safety
A simple addition that makes a big difference, especially during busy periods.
