"Your Tractor Shopping Ends Here: Wheelan's Garage in Ennis Has It All!

Tractor shopping? Look no further than Wheelan's Garage! We visited their locations in both Ennis and Kilrush and were absolutely captivated by the sheer magnitude of their selection. They're the main Massey Ferguson and Fendt dealers for County Clare, boasting a tremendous range of new and used tractors. Plus, they're the main JCB dealer for the West of Ireland, so you know they offer top-quality machinery. We witnessed everything from NC site dumpers to powerful wheel loaders. They also stock Fleming Machinery, one of Ireland's oldest manufacturers, and have a remarkable selection of their products. The museum in Kilrush, nestled in the old creamery, is an absolute must-see. You'll discover everything from an authentic 1940s Irish house to fascinating cobbler's tools, farming equipment, pikes, rakes, and even a horse-drawn fire engine! They also showcase a stunning collection of native Irish timbers and stones from every quarry in County Clare. Plus, a breathtaking display of vintage tractors, including Ferguson Browns, Massey Ferguson 35s, 35Xs, 135s, and 165s. If you're fortunate, you might even encounter Joe Wheelan, the founder, whose profound knowledge of tractors, machinery, and local history is truly astounding. I was incredibly lucky to tour the museum with him last year, and his expertise is simply unparalleled! He even shared old photographs of Wheelan's Plant Hire constructing the slipways for the Tarbert-Killimer car ferry in the 60s. This experience is highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in machinery or Irish heritage!"
