The inventor is Mr. Anthony C. Muldowney, Nurney, a former County Kildare champion cyclist. In its first stage the vehicle is a trailer; it goes at the back of cars or tractors and does all the work of a trailer. With the turn of a few screws the vehicle becomes a hand cart suitable for every carting job around a farm. Next, and most useful stage, is that of a baler. The cart can be secured to a tractor or combine and as the baled straw is ejected it is piled in two stacks on the baler. Then, with a slight pressure of the foot on the lever the baler leaves the stack of baled straw on the field. Responding to a demand from farmers Mr. Muldowney had put his invention on the market and is now doing a brisk trade in his ingenious invention.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>The Leinster Leader of 7th July 1956 reports on Kildare Man&#8217;s invention.\u00a0 Our thanks to Roy O&#8217;Brien.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>The Leinster Leader of 7th July 1956 reports on Kildare Man&#8217;s invention.
