Countax went on to obtain the rights to the Sabre rotary mower, develop a network of over 150 dealers and gain commissions to design and manufacture for other companies.

Although 1989 and 1990 were two ‘drought’ years Countax saw an opportunity to restructure, from being a sub contractor to becoming a manufacturer of our own range of garden tractors. With only 6 weeks to produce a machine ready for a major industry trade show, Countax staff worked round the clock to develop a prototype.

We made it with only hours to spare, delivering three models to our stand. The launch was successful and we soon had orders for over 1000 tractors.
