Imagine a video featuring Michael Fitzmaurice, the song of 2025 and an iconic tractor. Well, imagine no more, dear reader, that is now a reality. Not only is the Roscommon-Galway TD driving a 1990 Zetor 6211, he’s singing Kingfishr’s Killeagh as he does.
It’s all to promote a raffle which features said tractor as the main prize.
It’s a beautifully preserved model of the 6211, which succeeded the grey Fergie and the Massey 35 as the mainstay of the small farm. It’s all in aid of the Glinsk Community Fund.

If the winner for some mad reason don’t want the Zetor (living on the Space Station is probably the only acceptable excuse), there is the option of €10,000 instead. But as Fitzy himself says “win a Zetor and you’ll never forget her”.
