Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes showcases new farming business venture with interesting demo
He shared a how-to video on social media explaining one of the products for sale at Hayes Farming Supplies
ALL-STAR Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes is bringing his new farming company to the world of social media.
Hayes shared a how-to video on social media explaining one of the products for sale at Hayes Farming Supplies, his new business venture.
In the two-minute video, he showed every aspect of the 35 litre Pulmic industrial sprayer, which he described as “quick and easy to use”.
The Kildimo-Pallaskenry clubman, who played a starring role as Limerick secured this year’s All-Ireland senior hurling title, previously worked at the engineering firm Kirby Group and is a graduate of the University of Limerick.
“The first thing here is the durable wheels and they're suitable for any terrain, especially in and around the farm or any farmyard,” he explained.
“Next, we have the four different types of nozzles that come with the sprayer,” he continued, giving a demonstration of how to fill up the sprayer and how to turn it on.
He then showed the zero-degree nozzle, adding: “That is one of the four that comes with the sprayer. It can be used up to 13 meters to clean areas that are hard to get without a ladder, such as domestic use or, as I'm doing here, disinfecting sheds and hard-to-reach areas.”
He finished by showing how the six-metre long hose is reeled up and “tidily put away” behind the back of the sprayer.
The video was shared to the company’s TikTok page, showing that Hayes is targeting younger farmers in his promotion of the new business.
“This Pulmic sprayer is suitable for disinfecting sheds, spraying herbicides, pesticides, cleaning machinery, vehicles, roofs, and gutters. Built with a durable chemical-resistant seal and is available at Hayes Farm Supplies, along with the rest of the Pulmic range,” he concluded.
The company’s social media shows that they also stock the Verdemax Futura battery operated sprayers in eight litre, 12 litre, and 16 litre capacities.
This is not the Kildimo man’s first venture into entrepreneurship, with him co-founding a fast food business in 2024.
Bunda Brothers is a popular Limerick smash burger and chicken outlet owned by the company KDC Catering Limited.
Founded by Hayes and fellow Limerick hurling star Darragh O'Donovan, the business operates a take-away in Dooradoyle alongside mobile food trucks.
