This historic tractor was restored over the last 10 years by Benny McCabe a local Monaghan man and is powered by tractor vaporising oil [TVO]. Manufacture of the Fordson tractor took place in the USA from 1917 and production in Cork from 1919.
The McAree stand will be bigger and better than ever before and display their full range of V-Mac silos on display. These include the enclosed, legged and offset options as well as their 4 ton hopper and Tote bins. The feed silos are constructed using Magizinc, a modern steel that provides the extremely high levels of protection against corrosion and with exclusive interlocked forming and are incredibly strong.
McAree make their silos different from anyone else as the rolled body construction ensures a smooth inside wall helping excellent product flow and super-strength construction. Suitable for the agricultural, biomass, waste water treatment and plastics industries – V-Mac silos are available in a range of styles and formats.

Editor’s Note
Henry Ford grew up in an extended family of farmers in Wayne County a few miles from Detroit, Michigan in the late 19th century. At the time, farm work was extremely arduous with no mechanisation. As his interest in automobiles grew, he also expressed a desire to “lift the burden of farming from flesh and blood and place it on steel and motors.”
McAree Engineering has been helping farmers to protect their feed since the 1960’s when Vincent McAree designed and manufactured the very first V-Mac feed silo.
V-Mac silos are constructed using Magizinc, a modern steel that provides the extremely high levels of protection against corrosion and with exclusive interlocked forming and are incredibly strong.
