LAWN AND GARDEN CARE Why Countax rains supreme

It is true to say that Britain is famous for many things. However, despite the plethora of inventions, discoveries, artists and cultural influences, Britain remains world famous for three things in particular: The Beatles, Manchester United and rain. The country’s reputation for wet weather is perhaps a little exaggerated (as is the reputation of Manchester United). Visitors to Britain are often pleasantly surprised how comfortable and long the summer months really are. In fact, a drought in July and August is now more common than not. That said, statistics from NationMaster shows that the U.K. does indeed have the highest rainfall compared to all of the

The Countax PGC+ is specifically designed for the British garden and enables the tractor to do more than just cut grass. Connected to its power take-off, a range of interchangeable cassettes can be fitted to it, to achieve a range of garden tasks.

The Grass Sweeper comes as standard with the PGC+. It collects grass clippings, fallen leaves and other debris from the lawn. Fifty-one brushes rotate at over 1,100 strokes per minute to sweep cut grass and garden debris into the hopper. Even when the grass is wet, there is little risk of clogging.

Just like in a car, the chassis of a garden tractor is everything. It not only carries the weight of the engine, transmission and operator, but it must also help keep the cutting deck suspended and level whilst mowing.
