The successful family contracting business has continued to grow, moving from bales to a series of trailed single-, double and precision chop machines and their first self-propelled in 1978. But in 1989 the McConaghys went to a demonstration of the CLAAS JAGUAR 690 and were impressed by its appetite for big rows of grass.
“My mother asked what did we think, and I told her how it was able to pick up twice as much grass as our current machine,. She commented if that was the case it must be a wild pile of money, but my father came in and said he didn’t care how much it was, we were going to buy one.” Robert Junior.
