Abbey’s Low Emission Slurry Spreading (LESS) systems enable farmers to reduce emissions.
Irish Machinery manufacturer Abbey Machinery will be exhibiting on the Enterprise Ireland stand with longstanding partner and distributor Farmgard.
On this year’s stand will be a twin auger VF2000 Feeder Wagon and a 2500 Premium Plus Recessed Slurry Tank, as well as information on the complete product range.
At the heart of Abbey Machinery’s offering is a commitment to quality, sustainability, and advanced technologies. For example, the Low Emission Slurry Spreading (LESS) systems enable farmers to reduce emissions, protect soil health and improve nutrient efficiency using advanced data capture to enable farmers to get the most from their land in a sustainable way.
Abbey Diet Feeders unique chopping and mixing action helps the animal to digest the maximum amount of nutrients from the consumed feed, to drive performance and reduce environmental emissions. Abbey Machinery is positioned to support the farmer to achieve their best margins by achieving grants and incentives for more sustainably produced food.
The company says Fieldays presents an unmatched opportunity for Abbey Machinery to connect with farming communities, industry partners, and government stakeholders.
“We’re thrilled to be returning to Fieldays and to be doing so alongside our trusted distributor Farmgard,” says managing director, Clodagh Cavanagh, who will be attending this year’s event.
“It’s a chance to share our latest advancements, strengthen relationships, and gain valuable market feedback.”

With the biannual Italian EIMA machinery Expo less than a month away, Case IH has taken out a Technical Evolution award for the Advanced Vehicle Suspension system available on its Optum 360–440 series tractors.
The Advanced Vehicle Suspension system, available on Optum 360, 390, and 440 models, responds to changing conditions, automatically adjusting how the suspension reacts to absorbs shocks and controlling vehicle movement.
In operation, sensors monitor the vibrations transmitted from the tractor chassis to the operator cabin, allowing the system to adjust suspension damping in real time. The control system incorporates key priorities, such as comfort at lower speeds and stability as speed increases, while also reacting to factors such as lower tyre pressures, where the tyres absorb more of the initial shock.
Case IH said as suspension requirements change throughout the working day, as tractors move between the paddock and road transport, the system manages suspension response in the background as tasks, speeds and conditions change, leaving the operator without the need to make manual adjustments.
Richard Hollins, Optum series tractors global product manager, said: “Pioneering technology must earn its place in the working day. Farmers and contractors will judge an investment by what it delivers, including manageable ownership costs, dependable up-time and the versatility to tackle different jobs. With AVS, we are putting intelligent control to work for comfort and stability, without giving the operator another setting to manage.”
Organised by FederUnacoma, the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation, the contest has been part of EIMA since 1986, with the Technical Evolution distinction awarded to products that introduce original improvements to solutions already manufactured or patented.
