McHale Plant Sales To Exhibit 'Compelling Choice Of Machines'

At the forthcoming National Ploughing Championship, construction-to-agri machinery distributor, McHale Plant Sales, is set to display what they say will be 'a compelling choice of machines' all of which open a window on the future for the many commercially-minded visitors who attend the event.

Though confirmation is awaited, the likelihood is that McHale Plant Sales will have a couple more 'showstoppers' for farmers, fans, and focused-on-business visitors to see.

Komatsu

Making its Irish debut at the event will be the all-new Komatsu PC220LC-12 excavator. With its 'I' version stablemate, the PC220LC-12 has been classified by Komatsu as 'the most-advanced excavator ever and a template for future generations of Komatsu diggers yet to come'.

A 'must see' exhibit on the McHale Plant Sales stand, Irish customers will have the opportunity to examine its many features close-up. Ahead of anything on the market, the PC220LC-12 boasts 'breath-taking' aesthetics, intuitive ergonomics, extreme fuel efficiency, ultra-low emissions, effortless performance and levels of digitalisation never-before-seen in a construction machine.

In addition to this newcomer, other Komatsu machines on show will appeal to the wide community of farm and forestry contractors: those with the pressure of heavy-duty and demanding contracts to manage; those with ambitions to expand and open new avenues; and those content to work and build a client base within their niche.

From Komatsu, another model to watch for is the new-to-the-Irish-market PC78US-11, Also on show, with a range of breakers, will be a PC138 digger from the Komatsu range of 'utilities' machines, and a fully agri-specified heavy duty wheel loader – the hefty WA380-8 unit, aimed at contractors whose client needs require a larger, more muscular machine.

Komatsu Forest

Also featuring will be a machine from the Komatsu forest harvesting range – likely a model 845 Forwarder.

Prinoth

From Prinoth, models will include a remote control Raptor 100, and two excavator-driven mulchers: a new M350e-750 unit suitable for a five-tonne excavator, and a M450e-1090 unit for a 12-15 tonne excavator.
