Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with Blaney Agri: Supporting Farmers with Innovation, Efficiency & Sustainability
March 17, 2025
St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate Irish heritage, community, and progress. As a proudly Northern Irish company, Blaney Agri is dedicated to empowering farmers with high-quality, efficient, and sustainable agricultural solutions.
This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re taking a moment to highlight the benefits of choosing locally made machinery and how Blaney Agri innovations help farmers work smarter, not harder.
Proudly Northern Irish: The Strength of Local Innovation
Blaney Agri is rooted in Northern Ireland’s agricultural heartland, designing and manufacturing machinery that meets the real-world needs of farmers across the UK, Ireland, and beyond.
Choosing locally made machinery is more than just supporting a homegrown business – it’s an investment in:
✔️ Quality craftsmanship – Designed and built by experienced engineers who understand the challenges of modern farming.
✔️ Reliability & accessibility – Local manufacturing means better service, readily available spare parts, and expert support when you need it.
✔️ Economic growth – Supporting Northern Irish industry sustains jobs and innovation in the agricultural sector.
By choosing Blaney Agri, farmers benefit from durable, innovative, and efficient machinery that optimises operations and reduces costs.
Fuel & Cost Efficiency: Work Smarter, Not Harder
Blaney Agri machines are designed to save fuel, reduce waste, and maximise productivity. Our innovative approach ensures:
✔️ Lower fuel consumption – Efficient operation means less refuelling and more working time.
✔️ Reduced material waste – Machinery like the Forager X10 Bale Unroller ensures controlled feeding, reducing silage waste and maximising feed efficiency.
✔️ Long-term value – Built to last, Blaney Agri machines offer exceptional return on investment compared to lower-quality alternatives.
By integrating advanced power efficiency into our equipment, we help farmers cut running costs while maintaining high performance and reliability.
Product Highlight: Forager X10 Bale Unroller – The Smart Way to Feed Livestock
The Forager X10 is the fastest and easiest single-tractor round bale feeding solution, designed to make feeding silage more efficient and cost-effective.
✔️ Self-loading & hassle-free operation – Load, transport, and unroll silage bales without needing additional machinery.
✔️ More feed, less waste – The adjustable output function ensures livestock receive only what they need, reducing spoilage and improving intake.
✔️ Better animal health & weight gain – Fresher, daily-fed silage is more palatable, leading to better nutrition and higher liveweight gain per day.
✔️ Saves time & fuel – Unlike bulky diet feeders, the Forager X10 is faster and requires less fuel, making feeding tasks more efficient and cost-effective.
With less selective eating and reduced silage waste, the Forager X10 helps farmers save money, reduce workload, and maximise feed efficiency.
Sustainability in Action: Smarter Weed Control with Blaney Weed Wipers
Weed control is essential for healthy grassland, but traditional spraying methods often result in chemical waste, unnecessary herbicide use, and environmental damage. Blaney Agri has pioneered a more sustainable, targeted alternative: Weed Wipers.
✔️ Targeted weed control – Dual roller technology only applies herbicide to weeds, leaving valuable grass and clover untouched.
✔️ Eco-friendly & cost-effective – Up to 90% savings on chemical use compared to boom spraying, reducing environmental impact.
✔️ Versatile solutions – Options for ATVs, UTVs, and tractors, suitable for everything from small paddocks to large fields.
Blaney’s Leading Weed Wiper Range
✅ Quad-X Wipeout 2™ & Xterminator 2™ – ATV-towed models ideal for smaller applications and harder-to-reach areas. Quad-X is our brand for AT/UTV attachments.
✅ Tractor-Mounted Weed Wipers – Available in 2.4m – 6.6m widths for large-scale weed control with minimal chemical use.
By targeting weeds without harming grass growth, Blaney’s Weed Wipers improve grassland productivity, save farmers money, and protect biodiversity.
