I’ve been involved in the farm machinery business in one way or another for over 40 years and some names stand out at different times over that period. John Conaty operates a farmyard and a modern sales room on the Oldcastle Road, outside of Kells, Co Meath, and over the past 30 years I’ve heard countless farmers and contractors utter the words, ‘‘Conaty will have it’’. He has become a legend in the farm machinery business because of his determination to get you a tractor part, secondhand, spurious or new.I called to John Conaty’s recently to get a feel for the current range of parts that John and his enthusiastic team keep in stock. The first impression is professional.
