We are delighted to be attending the Ploughing again this year. We are looking forward to meeting with children and young people from all over the country, as well as with parents and those who work with children.

At our stand we will be carrying out children’s rights workshops with small groups of children. These sessions have been really successful in recent years and get great engagement. We will be conducting surveys with children and we will be giving young people the chance to play our newly launched game ‘Rights Runner.

We will also take this opportunity to tell people about Beyond Limits; a summit for young people with disabilities that we’re hosting in Croke Park in October.

The Ombudsman for Children, Dr Niall Muldoon will be at our stand on Tuesday and Wednesday

STIHL have introduced the new chainsaw that every professional user will want – the MS 500i. The world’s first petrol chainsaw with electronically controlled fuel injection will be lighter than current saws, but will produce optimum performance, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in only 0.25 seconds.

You can see this saw at ISE Forest & Garden’s stand located at Block 3, Row 25, Stand 582.

With no need for a carburettor, the saw delivers the fuel in a much more efficient way than a standard saw, whilst giving a performance that you can rely on when you are using your chainsaw day in, day out. The saw has also been designed to be simple to operate and user-friendly.

Living up to our reputation of innovation in petrol power tools, the STIHL Research and Development Team have delivered a game-changer once again. So make sure to drop by at ISE Forest & Garden’s stand located at Block 3, Row 25, Stand 582 to see this new innovative chainsaw from STIHL.

We are using the Ploughing Championships as our Platform for the Product Launch to give us a chance to introduce the JCB Generator Range into the market place, raise product awareness, raise awareness of Shanahan Power and show the benefits of using the JCB Range of Diesel Generators.

Shanahan Power Ltd was set-up in February 2016 and has being growing steadily in the marketplace each year since then. Based in County Limerick but servicing all of Ireland. We recently completed our first Project in the UK. We expect this new dealership will drive sales and increase our market sharehold. We also have a team of experienced Diesel Generator Service Engineers which maintain and troubleshoot on these equipment to ensure our clients are never left in the dark.

The new BR 800 is STIHL’s most powerful backpack blower to date. Designed with both power and comfort in mind, this machine is a fantastic choice for local authorities, landscapers and contractors with enough strength to take on the toughest jobs with ease.

You can see this new powerful blower at ISE Forest & Garden’s stand located at Block 3, Row 25, Stand 582.

With a blowing force of 41 N (BR 700 is 35 N), the BR 800 is an excellent tool for clearing heavy, wet leaves in the Autumn & Winter months.

Excellent power to weight ratio makes the BR 800 easy to operate. Thanks to the ergonomic carrying system (S shaped shoulder strap, chest strap and hip belt) it is comfortable to use throughout the day. The strain reducing blower tube makes it easy to handle too. Starting the machine is simple and easy to do thanks to the side start pull cord. The blower can be easily restarted when taking a break from work with a firm pull of the cord. And of course it can also be stopped using the switch on the handle so there’s no need to remove the machine if you’re taking a quick break or wanting to move from area to area. So make sure to drop by at ISE Forest & Garden’s stand located at Block 3, Row 25, Stand 582 to see this new powerful blower from STIHL.
