Vintage and silage enthusiasts flocked to the Hyland family farm in Barnahown, Araglen, Co Tipperary, recently for a glimpse of some special machines.

The farm is situated on the Waterford, Cork and Tipperary border and hosted 13 vintage harvesters on the day – seven double-chops, three single-chops, two precision-chops and a Taarup wagon.

They teamed up to cut over 20 acres of quality silage.

Here are some of our favourite pictures from Ger Donovan of the vintage machinery.
